Question
I am looking to replace my iPod with a new phone that will store my iTunes library.  My library is 35GB which makes it too big for the iPhone.  I am running iTunes on a Mac OSX 10.6.5, and all of music is encoded with AAC and I also have audiobooks on their.  Can you recommend a cell phone that will work for me, or are there none available right now?

Answer
I'm not aware of a phone that will hold an iTunes library as large as you need, but it would be my recommendation to buy the 32Gig iPhone 4 and to only store what you need on the iPhone and keep the remaining songs on iTunes. You don't have to put every song on your iPhone. You can keep songs in iTunes without putting them all on your iPhone. I wouldn't recommend any different device for you. If you want a phone, and you have a Mac today as well as wanting to replace the iPod, definitely, definitely go with the iPhone. Like I said, you can keep all your music on iTunes, but just put a reasonable amount onto the iPhone and save the rest on your computer in iTunes. That's the smartest way to do it. Hope this helps.
