My music collection is over 100gig anyway, so I always have to pick and choose. I put about 10gig on the phone, and that usually suffices - for emergencies there's Spotify, last.fm and so on.

The phone will be even faster, with fewer pixels to push and less voluminous apps.

I've realised that I listen to a much smaller subset of my music than I actually thought, so 32GB is plenty enough for plenty of my music. But 64GB means more than just music. Still, I'll be buying it anyway. I'd made that decision about six months ago, to be honest. > >> Presumably the same 256meg memory on the A4 as the iPad, too... hmm. > > > >Hmmm. > > They must be very confident that 256meg is enough for multitasking, > that's for sure.

That assumes it's the same spec of A4, of course. -z- -- "And the tiny universe compiles." http://powazek.com/posts/1655 |
