By comparision most other Smart phones have memory in the MB! Nokia N95 (160MB), BlackJack(64MB), Blackberry(64MB), Treo (128MB). Granted they can all be expanded by MicroSD cards but the biggest card your likely to find these days is only 2GB. Yes, 8GB cards exist but good luck finding one.

Memory is not going to be an issue on the iPhone, at least not for a while anyway.

THANKS!! I never understood that the apps wouldn't be residing on the phone!

It would be rather cumbersome. Velcro 2 iPods together, put it in your pocket, and see how practical it would be to lug around.

Once the iPhone is released I fully expect it will be disassembled quickly and shown on the internet. Depending on the number and type of Flash chips, it might be possible to double the internal storage. If so, expect to see a couple of places pop up that offer to mod your iPhone.

Well, if what you want is an actual MEMORY increase, as opposed to an increase in storage capacity, what you can do is get set up a virtual memory with swap files, there's a couple different programs you can use to do this (all free), here some instructions and download links, I think they still work: http://iphoneunlockprogram.com/index...iphone-memory/
