Ology is a suffix denoting a field of study or academic discipline. Appleologists, as mentioned in Ars Technica, would therefore be people studying the field of Apple. Contrary to logic and belief, there are many who could fit this description.

As the buzz about Macworld 2008, Apple’s annual shindig, is building to a crescendo the air is full of speculation as to what new products will be announced. After all the iPhone was born a year ago. What will it be this year?

Apple annouce today that they are doubling storage capacities for their newest line of iPods and iPhones.

“For some users, there’s never enough memory,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod and iPhone Product Marketing. “Now people can enjoy even more of their music, photos and videos on the most revolutionary mobile phone and best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world.”

As an early comer to the iPod touch, I can attest to that statement. at 16Gb, music is about all your likely to bring with you, with any idea of a small video library being unrealistic in conjunction with your music collection. For most even, 16Gb may not be sufficient for just their music collection. The newer 32Gb iPod Touch and 16Gb iPhone will come as a much welcomed addition.

The larger capacity 32Gb iPod touch and 16Gb iPhone will both sell for $499 (approx €340 EUR, £254 GBP)
