How much RAM do these iPods ship with?

The iPhone 4 has 512MB, and older iPod Touch 3rd Gen have 256MB (same as the iPad).

Do the new iPod Touch have 512MB as the iPhone 4 (what I would expect) or 256MB?

I'd expect 512MB too, otherwise the retina display will eat it all. – rjstelling Sep 1 '10 at 22:20

@rjstelling The iPad has a higher resolution but only has 256MB memory – Kyle Cronin♦ Sep 1 '10 at 23:18
Wikipedia says 512MB but also [citation needed] xD who knows? – Vervious Sep 2 '10 at 0:53
@Kyle - Does iPad really only have 256mb? I thought it has 512 – Moshe Sep 3 '10 at 13:50
@Moshe Nope, just 256. Look under the "memory" section of the Wikipedia entry. – Kyle Cronin♦ Sep 3 '10 at 14:25

According to iFixit, the 4th gen iPod Touch has 256MB, not 512MB like the iPhone 4.:

Breaking news: the iPod Touch has only 256 MB RAM, same Samsung part markings as iPad.

Just saw this myself... sad to hear. I still wonder if the memory is the same for the three versions, but that seems to be the case. – pgb Sep 8 '10 at 20:34

Wikipedia now says 256MB, and doesn't include the [citation needed]. Maybe someone there confirmed it. – pgb Sep 8 '10 at 11:56
