More Strange Apple Memory Prices

My friend and I have written about how Apple rips off offers questionable prices on memory to its customers. I discovered another strange memory pricing scheme in Apple's iPod Touch product line. Here's the pricing.

• 8GB model - $299
• 16GB model - $399
• new 32GB model - $499 (ouch)

So 8GB of extra memory will cost you $100 if you are going from the 8GB model to the 16GB model, but 16GB of extra memory will cost you the same if you go up to the 32GB model. Bulk pricing? Who knows. I would guess that the extra 16GB would come at a higher premium since there are more chips crammed into the same space but not so.

On a related note....I know they are not the same components but this makes the Macbook memory upgrade prices (linked above) seem even more ludicrous when you can get an extra 16GB for $100.
