74.40 gigs? Capicity listed in Activation Vid

[eskimayo]

While watching the activation video, once all files had synced on the iPhone, the capicity was listed as 74.40 gigs on the bottem of th screen while on the top it was listed as 7.2 Gigs.... any ideas?

just move the decimal point........

I noticed that as well
DO you think apple executives get iphones with more space or HDs?

 

[applehero]

The video was probably put together using and iPhone and an iPod, as they wanted to make sure there was adequate space to demonstrate the sync processes.

 

[NightStorm]

If you look in that picture, it also lists Wedding Crashers as a movie to sync to the iPhone, but that title is not available from the iTunes Store, nor is any other New Line feature...

i just took it in VLC as i was watching the activation video... sadily im at work and i cant even install quicktime..

 

[Macnoviz]

I just noticed. Probably some prototype thing

 

[thejadedmonkey]

I just saw this too and was just about to post. If you add up the 74 gigs used, and the 23 gigs free, you get a 100gig hard drive. Is this the iPhone's secret?

EDIT: sorry, I can't count. It's an 80 gig drive, 74gb formatted 23 gb free, not 74gb used 23gb free. Thanks for pointing this out nukiduz

thursday

Thursday's press release:
iPhones true capacity upgraded to 50 or 100 gigs?

 

[terrrrrible]

The "Ringtones" tab was also missing from the top this time.

 

[eskimayo]

I was bummed when the Ringtone tab was not there, but remember, you can always just do an iTunes update, and boom there it is.

just move the decimal point........

7.2 to 74.0

Check out the new activation and syncing video on apples website.

Notice anything special?

that's ridiculous, computers don't err by a factor of 10. That would be a human error.

 

[liketom]

what was funny was when the sync took place in like 3 sec's like 6gb in 3 sec's is poss? via usb 2.0

mmmm... do your math: music + video + other + not used = 74GB

 

[Pressure]

It does list the actual capacity as 7.27GB.

I don't think anyone is actually interested in sitting 3 minutes seeing the actual syncing process but would rather spend their time seeing how to sync.

 

[earnjam]

which would be probably 80gigs with software

they probably just used an 80gig ipod. I highly doubt they would advertise 4 and 8 and then all the sudden come out with 80. absurd.

 

[earnjam]

so the question is, how long before they notice and correct the video...i bet it will be before the morning is over.

 

[graphicwave]

I'm thinking it's possible that they want us to believe it's only going to be 4GB & 8GB.

So much security and secrecy to protect the real reason they don't want pictures of the iPhone box coming out, because it says 40GB & 80GB models.

"This is the best iPod we've ever made."
80 gigs sure would make that true.

BUT...that IS a lot to cram in such a small space. (that's what SHE said)

It is bigger than the 80gb ipod. It's not quite as thick, but it is longer....thats what she said.

 

[terrrrrible]

There's no way they're going to be 40/80gigs. It's 4/8g, and that's that.

I don't know of any manufacturers making a flash storage that large...

its possible, but not currently.

Well it could be 10 4Gb chips and 20 4Gb chips for example but i believe it is just an error and it is really 4/8Gbs

talk about inefficient, and huge space requirements...
