ipod touch 4th gen only comes with 256MB memory!

Most people were presuming the new ipod touch would come with 512MB like the new iphone so it could handle the new hires screen, HD video and run iMovie etc that came on both devices.

However it now seems the ipod only got half the memory of the iphone? If a decision was made to increase the memory on the iphone 4 to 512MB, presumably so users could work with HD video amongst other things, why does the ipod touch not need the extra memory as well?

They both have the same cpu, screen resolution, hd video and imovie support so why does one device need twice as much memory as the other?

ipod touch 4g, iOS 4
