There are a fair numbers of obsessive audiophiles (redundant I know
) like me who are always going to want the biggest storage capacity around. Apple lossless codec going through a pair of Shure SE530 earphones sure beats the heck out of 128kps AAC and the crap earbuds Apple ships. And cuts out all the noise back flying in cattle class pretty well! Problem is, lossless codecs don't really compress that much (hence the term 'lossless') and the typical 8 GB worth of music at 128kps would be 50-80 GB at the former. So, I'll still end up keeping my iPod classic (160GB) in the briefcase until Apple starts incorporating 'crazy amounts of GB' in the iPhone down the road. I mean, I can put a fair amount of music along with a movie or two. One movie taking up around 1.2 - 1.5 GB.
