Have you ever tried to jog with that iPod? Does it have a 10" LCD that needs power as well? Does it need much more space than just the space for a battery and the hard drive?
Ever wonder why companies (not just Apple) often have two different players, one with flash memory with a small capacity, and one with a hard drive with a large capacity?
There's a huge difference between hard drives and flash memory, and flash memory is many times more expensive.
EDIT: And if you didn't know there was a difference, then isn't a bit foolish to be calling someone a fanboy based on not knowing something?
