Whoa, Apple just leaked some major news, they’re planning to release the iPod Touch in 80GB and 160GB flavors! I’m telling you, it’s hidden right out in the open on Apple Store’s site. Take a gander for yourself.
Yes, there’s not a doubt in my mind that it’s simply a typo on Apple’s part. There’s just no way they could cram that much memory into an iPod Touch.
What’s really surprising is that this typo has been up since yesterday and Apple still hasn’t manged to fix it. They’re probably too busy worrying about that new OS of theirs. What was it again? Kitty…Puma…hell I don’t know.
You so silly, Apple! [via crunchgear]

a feeble little blog so desperate for hits… just fill your blog with aapl and they will come :P
Yeah, it’s still up there. Problem is… It would HAVE to be a Hard Drive model if it is indeed coming out any time soon. For a portable multimedia device such as the touch, it would have to have a pretty good darn battery to support a spinning Hard Drive (apple knows this, that is why it now only has flash memory). If it was 160GB of flash memory, the unit would cost well into in the thousands. Possible this is true, but highly unlikly. I know I sure wouldn’t want a power hungry hard drive in my iPod touch. Nor would i spend over a grand for one with 160GB of flash memory.
However, once the price of flash memory drops. It should be possible to have a 160GB model for under $500.
