Yet, there are a few datapoints out of the curve.
Too few if you ask me, but there you are.

# New:
Terabyte thumbdrives.
It'll be costly, but no more than 125 8GB thumbdrives would cost you surely.
But it will be very slow methinks.
USB can't be that fast, can it now?

There's no way a phone is going to be able to find files in a terrabyte of memory in under second.
If that's what processors do =/ *not that good with technical tech*

# Does it need to be fast?
Speed of transfer was more important when they
consumed most of the processing. Not such a big
deal now. For bulk and back-up it should be fine.

# Just there.
Meta indexing on mainbox while syncing etc.
Couple of other things to speed it up. You're not
wrong that it would be painful on the phone's cpu. [/;-D

# Horay!
"Not wrong" :]
Now it seems we're at, or very near, the limit of data storage, not much smaller than atoms.
Well, we could store things as sequences of protons and neutrons, maybe. But that sounds quite difficult and sciencey.
A terabyte of memory in a thumbdrive sounds like enough anyways, I haven't even half filled the 160GB on my pc yet, I've had the thing long enough!
Oh well, I'm off now b3ta, tah-rah!

# I still cant get over the original iPhone.
I mean a phone, that can BROWSE THE INTERNET? AND PLAY MUSIC!? AS WELL AS PLAY GAMES, VIDEOS AND MAKE CALLS AND SEND TEXT MESSAGES?

Only those visionaries at apple could ever had thought of putting all these functions in a phone. I cant believe nobody thought of it first.
