Ensoniq said:The two changes that were needed:
1 - 12" iBook should have been a 40 GB drive, instead of 30. On the custom build page of the Apple Store, HD sizes are 30/60/80. Where did the 40 go? Unless there is a supply problem on the 40, the 40 should have been the base size.
I don't follow the component markets, but I'm inclined to think Apple will soon need to push forward on hard drive sizes. An 80 GB drive is fine for basic applications and running a 15 GB iPod, but I just don't see it serving content to a 60 GB iPod. External drives are great for video-intensive apps and for storage, but more stored video and photo content are going to push the need for larger factory-installed drives.
Factory-installed drives haven't kept up with the iPod.
