For the first time since the iPhone's release, Apple's rolled out a new hardware version of the handset, one which doubles the included storage to 16GB of flash memory, for a cost of $499. The 8GB unit remains $399, which means that the same cost that fetched you a 4GB iPhone back in July now gets you four times as much capacity. Meanwhile, the iPhone's cousin, the iPod touch high-end model has gotten a boost to 32GB, with 8GB and 16GB capacities still on the shelves Source: macworld

Apple has changed the rules on the number of iPhones a customer can buy. The previous limit of two handsets has been raised to five.
The changes is said to have been prompted by increased availability of the smartphone-cum-iPod.
But rumoured software update did not materialise over the weekend, doubtless to the relief of the iPhone hacking community who are still unravelling the previous patch.
