60GB iPod Coming?

An anonymous reader writes "Toshiba today announced that it will offer a 60GB version of its 1.8-inch hard drive in the coming months and that Apple has already placed its order. Cindy Lee, deputy manager of Toshiba's hard disk drive division, said the drive will enter mass production during July or August. All three iPod models (15GB, 20GB, and 40GB) use Toshiba drives, while the iPod mini uses a 4GB 1-inch drive from Hitachi. Lee noted that Toshiba is currently shipping 350,000 of the 1.8-inch drives per month to Apple."

    They know marijuana is wrong, but they sell water pipes (aka bongs) anyways. Unethical source of profit, bad karma.

    When the powers that be decide the internet has built itself enough steam to retain its customers without illegal mp3 downloads, watchout! FBI will come down on illegal mp3 downloading hard. Nothing like what it is doing now, allowing illegal activities go on like nothing is wrong. I can see the headline already, First mp3 uploading jailtime sentence.

    I will give a serious thought to buy this, if Apple allows me to use iPod as a Secondary storage device. I can always store some huge zipped files by appending mp3 header. I hope they will give me color options in earphone, iam really scared to walk out with white warphones.

  11. Rich boys and their little toys by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Do you think people care to read about spoiled rich boys brag about their little toys? Read Marcuse's the One-Dimensional man some day. Actually, do not read it, you are a one-dimensional man, so why bother reading about yourself.

    If cars to you are merely for moving people, then you can be content with what car you have. But if a car is an object of social status, you will be like those people on Mtv Cribs with a garage full of seven expensive custom cars, because too much is never enough for those chasing social status. Mike Tyson was making 20 million a fight and still went bankrupt. To use money for social status and to maintain an entourage is very expensive! Becareful rich boy and do not spend too much on expensive toys that you most likely could do without. Even the richest of men can go bankrupt chasing never ending heights of higher social status, and the latest neat toys.

    it is really absurd the way somepeople are so intollerent and get so bent out of shape by grammer issues. there are alot of people out their that our dyzlexix. i'm one of them. spelling is a chore i try hard to right the correct word, but sometimes i jsut fail. my brain misfires and i don't notice allways that i have ridden soething wrong.

    alot of times the important thing is getting the meaning across. god forbid you sould try to lean a foreign language. it's easy to make errors also when someone is trying to write not in there native language.

    besides, languages are virii.
