With over 3,100 votes from iLounge readers, our latest poll—“Are you using a jailbroken and/or unlocked iPhone or iPod touch?” has ended. Readers could reply that yes, they have both jailbroken and unlocked their iPhone, yes, they have jailbroken their iPhone or iPod touch, no, at one point they jailbroke their device but have since returned it to normal, and no, they have never jailbroken or unlocked their device, with a final option for those who don’t own an iPhone or iPod touch.
Eighty-six percent of responding readers said that they owned an iPhone or iPod touch. Of that 86%, a massive three-quarters said that they are not using jailbroken devices, with two-thirds having never jailbroken, and 9% having jailbroken and later reverted to factory settings. By comparison, 15% of responding iPod touch and iPhone users said they were using jailbroken devices, while another 9% said they were using jailbroken and unlocked iPhones. Thanks for all your responses!
Our latest poll focuses on iPod and iPhone storage. We want to know how much storage space your ideal 2009 iPod or iPhone would have. 2GB or less, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB? Or perhaps you’d like to see a higher-capacity flash-based model with 64GB or 128GB, or a new hard-disk model with 256GB or more? Our new poll, “How much storage space would your ideal 2009 iPod or iPhone have?” lets you answer that question. As always, you can find the iLounge Poll in the left-hand column of the main iLounge.com home page. Vote today!

IMHO, storage and bandwidth are synonymous to me. Of all features in an iPhone I’d like to have the maximum storage space and bandwidth that the iPhone can handle w/o compromising the current size.
I voted for the 256GB space because my iPhone IS my main “computer” if you will. My two desktop at home are just spares and collecting dust. So, with that being said, I’d like to store as much pictures, music and any training video I can put on my phone while on the go and while I’m in bed

Link??? It’s right there on the front page. How hard is that?
To the subject: I want a large (80G+) capacity, flash based iPod. Battery life, size, and ruggedness are the reasons. I’d also like to see a ruggedized iPod, splash and dust proof.

I voted for 128GB.
I’ve already got a 32GB 1G Touch, but if the next generation of Touch comes out with 64-128GB of Flash-based memory, I’ll definitely be looking to sell my Touch and upgrade to a new one!
