How about 1TB iPod?

[djluis2k6]

They have up to a 500GB Western Digital passport, perhaps they could make a 1TB iPod, or at least one of 500GB? I'm thinking for video mainly, don't really need 1TB of portable music, but maybe 1TB of video space for the long trips.

If you have the iTouch or the iPhone.... you can install a media sever, Orb, on your PC and a client on the device and stream all of your media to your player from your PC.

why would you want a portable media player thats bigger than a hard drive? 1tb drives only come in the 3.5inch flavor

given the fact that technology seems to expand at near exponential rates, I'm pretty sure a 1TB hard drive the size of an Ipod is very much a possibility.

but its not..like i just said, you can only get a 1tb hard drive in a 3.5inch drive. and even if you could get bigger than a 500gb in a 2.5 inch drive, that's still pretty big to be slapping a screen and a battery to

My music collection alone could easily fill up a 1TB ipod. Id love to have that many songs at my fingertips.

Given that a few years ago, a TB of storage was housed in something about the size of a water heater and can now be on a 3.5 inch drive, it is not out of the realm of thought that it will shrink even further in the not-so-distant future.

oh.. well if we're talking future..why stop at 1tb

A.) Most people don't have 1 TB of music.
B.) There's no possible way to listen to everyone of those songs more than once in about 2 years. It's just impossible. You would have to listen to it non stop every day and not do anything else.
C.) Most people don't even have the 160 GB iPOD full of music.

how much storage do you have on you computer??

[Branden]

how big is the classic iPod now? 160GB? even then people want the smaller and cheaper 8GB touch. iPod has a long way to go before it reaches 1TB and even longer before it's small enough for people to want, but it will come. eventually.

the only problem is anything over 1TB of data requires a power source of 1.21 gigawatts

LOL

Again as I said, I was suggesting this specifically for video content. A whole season of a TV show on iTunes is about 5-6GB, and close to 10GB if they're 45mins shows.

Most people don't watch tv shows on their iPODs. It's not really practical to everyone to have that much space.

its a nice thought and all, but like i explained...1tb drives are huge, costly and probably suck up loads of power

I watch some some shows on my iPhone 3g 8 gig, but when I am done I just swap out them out for another episode or movie. Even if they were able to make an iPod with a 1Tb hard drive I can just imagine what the cost alone would be.

if I could get what I want it would be a 100 gig Iphone
