100gb iPod

Seriously now, nothing bugs me more than iPods, particuarly ones that pass the 20gb barrier.

I have a PSP, and I'd say I'm the average college student, though I'm not a huge audio-phile. As far as technology goes, my day is fairly simple on this campus. If i'm not in front of a computer, I'm probably busy doing something else, such as class, hanging with friends, or something like that.

It's it wrong to assume that the average person is much the same? Maybe some people travel, such as commuters, highschoolers riding the bus, or those who travel the world for a living. But is that demographic really large enough to account for the number of mass-storage iPods?

If you ask me, it's not. The ones who travel to school on a bus return home later that day, certainly not enough time to watch 10gb of video. Ok, so we'll span that across a week, so you don't have to update every day, but that's still pushing it.

I think those who have large travel times on a plane can use a couple feature-length videos, but I suppose they have laptops anyway.

So maybe you use it as a primary storage device for your music, movies, and such. Seems kinda insecure to me. Knowing data-loss first-hand, I know the importance of backing up data. It's too easy for an iPod to get lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. I'm not ready to put that kinda risk in 60gb of data.

So, I want to know, who's using these iPods, when do you get to use all that space, and how much are you acutally using? Please reply, and get your friends to reply, thanks.
