Rumor: iPod Video to use flash memory

Rumor has it that Apple could end up using NAND flash memory in the next iteration of the video iPod, which means users will end up with considerably less space should the current price point of the 80GB iPod Video be maintained. The two new models will feature 16GB and 32GB capacities – somehow I can’t help but feel that this is taking a few steps backwards as some of us already have filled our 80GB iPods to the brim a long time ago. Do you prefer to have superior space on the more fragile hard drive, or carry less video and music on-the-go with the peace of mind that your data won’t end up corrupted due to minor knocks and bumps.
