I rest my case.

176?!?!? And you aren't a heavy user?
I am guessing you don't use all that many of them??

Oh, I use a lot of them, if not most of them, but some are still being evaluated. I've only had the thing for eight months or so, and I don't pretend to be a super-heavy iPhone user since I don't live in my iPhone like some of my cow orkers and friends do.

I just like collecting useful utilities. And sometimes I can't make up my mind which program in a group of two or three is the best one, so I tend to keep a few redundant programs around.

For reference, I have about 3,300 songs on my 32 GB iPod touch, compressed to 192 kbps, and still have plenty of room for podcasts (via the Downcast app) and several other apps I use regularly. Other than

If you don't plan to put a ton of music and videos on it, 16 GB should be fine. If you think you'll use it as your iPod as well as a phone, then get 32 or 64.
