Why don't they start increasing the memory instead of lowering it?

"there will 8GB and 12GB soon since there are flash drives like that"
what? the highest amount of memory for a flash drive player on the market right now is 4gb. Since it costs roughly 50 dollars per 2gb chip of flash, 8gb and 12gb would be at around 400 and 600 dollars right now. Trust me, the next size for flash players will come at 6gb and even then it won't be cheap and not for a while.

"why carry all 60GB makes no sense msot people use there pc dialy jsut add what u want for that day or week."
what? how would anyone want to completely reorganize their player every day? Ur wierd.

Ok, now back on topic, i doubt that they will release a 1gb nano since it will clash with the shuffle in sales and that they're revamping the shuffle anyways, possibly with a color screen. It's due out in mid-late January.
