I have had 3 iPods and each time it has had less storage space than I payed for. I had a 4gb nano and it had 3.5gb, I had an 8gb nano and it had 7.3gb and now I have a 16gb touch and it only has 14.5gb. Is this the same for everyone else?

Thats because of the firmware etc thats on it and the way its formatted. E.g my 1tb external has 934gb.
-
Its because theres a 500mb partition for things like apps and general system stuff

In iTunes it says 14.5gb and it shows the firmware taking up 150mb. There's no way that the firmware takes up 1.5gb.

The disclaimer at Apple says
1GB=1 billion bytes
Actual Formatted Capacity smaller.

Indeed it's just how things are formatted and firmware. For example nothing is actually 1GB, in reality it is 1024MB.
