The iPod Touch is flash based, so 8 and 16GB is about as much as you can expect without the price becoming insane.
The iPhone case isn't really big (thick) enough to house everything and a 1.8 inch HDD, so either they go to a smaller HDD (expensive) or go with flash based.. they're going flash because pretty soon HDD based players will go away as the flash capacities go up.
