There are two issues going on here. First, you already have the
operating system taking up some space on the drive to which it's
installed, which wouldn't be true of an external drive. Second, hardware
manufacturers measure things in multiples of 1000 bits whereas operating
systems count in units of 1024 bits. Therefore, a drive will always look
a bit smaller to the operating system then what you get on the drives
packaging. For more on this, check out the Wikipedia article at

For a 16 gig device, it will say that you only have 12 or so gigs free
as there are all sorts of thins on the device, such as preinstalled apps
and formatting that use space. This is the same with a computer, if you
have a computer that says it is a 1 tb hard drive, you will actually
only have about 931 gigs that are free. I know with my 64 gig iPod, when
it was brand new, I hadn't installed anything on it, it said I only had
about 56 gigs free. You will never get your device to say that it has 16
gigs fre if it is a 16 gig device.
