People always do this and I am always curious as to why. Someone says, "Most people don't need anything more than XX GB,"(which has been demonstrated by a recent analyst survey showing that the 4GB iPod mini was sufficient for most people's collections). In response, you get the needle in the haystack who retorts, "I have 150GB! Hurry Apple!"
They conveniently forget that the first statement included the qualifier "most." Whether Apple is making a 60 GB iPod, I really don't know. But I would say there is
very little demand for it, from a purely musical standpoint. Sure, when you want a 60GB iPod, you could care less about what the market's demand is, you want it-that should be demand enough.
I understand supply and demand just fine... What strikes me is that you believe 40 to be the magic number... where did you get this??? you say that for most people 4 is enough, so you jump to the conclusion that there is demand for 40 but not 60...???... Just about everyone I know has more than 20GB... and a sufficient number have more than 60GB... and it seems that music libraries are growing exponentially these days as everybody gets their music encoded... I no longer rip a single CD
If drives continue to go down in price as capacity goes up what do you care if an ipod has way more space than you need??? the guy who suddenly can autosync his library is thrilled. Nobody loses, you dont care, and he's stoked.... or they can say that this guy over here thinks 40 is enough and 41 is too much so anybody with more can just piss off... reminds me of people who go 70 in a 65 in the fast lane and wont let someone else pass them cause what they do is just right and any faster is absurd...
