Default typical file sizes?

hey guys, does anyone have a good idea how big the following files typically are?

- picture
- song (4 mins)
- movie (2 hrs)
- show (30 mins)

trying to decide between 4G and 8G.

thanks!

Picture= 2mb
Song= 5mb
Movie= 1gb
TV Shows (30min)= 250mb

But all of that varies based on encoding and other factors. I think those numbers are fairly acurate for buying from iTunes.

if you can afford it get the 8GB.

A lot will depend on how you encode the files. You can have a picture at 200K if you save it as a low quality jpeg. If you take the same picture as raw format right out of your camera it may be 5 or 10MB big. Same with MP3s a song encoded at 64 bit will be a hell of a lot smaller than one at 128bit.

There is no definite answer that can be provided for this question. The # of factors involved in this, go far beyond whether or not the file is a "Song or Picture".

i'm not sure if this has been addressed, but does anyone know how much memory the OS and included apps are going to eat up? is it possible that a 4GB iphone would actually only have 3GB of storage?
