    You're saying that by obfuscating the filenames internally that it is somehow so much more efficient? Sure, if we were talking about 4k of RAM, but that's unilkely. Are you suggesting that the Archos has shorter battery life just because of how it browses for files? that's odd...

    Its ingeniously simple: why make processor on the ipod built for effeciency have to do all this directory / database management (althou the 3g ones do this now) when you can get a desktop computer to do it in a snap.

    Because it's bad design.

    Well, a lacie mobile FW harddrive from lacie is 179 USD http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10105

    Now that is just a HD whereas the iPod is a smaller form factor HD and a music player.

    If you consider all MFG cost, your suggestion would create a loss leader without a follow up product to make money on.

    The iTMS is already the loss leader driving iPod sales. Based on their sales figures, they are doing fine with the current and future prices. They don't need "your" money because others are fine with their prices apparently.
