The idea is that devices like the iPod are merely temporary and that once cell phones have large enough HDs we won't actually need dedicated MP3 players any more and only have to carry around 2 bricks anymore.
Personally I won't be getting one until the storage reaches a little higher, but I'm all for people buying these things as it's paying for the R&D of my future phone;)
Theoretically though, once faster long range wireless networks are in place (such as the WiMax thing which is being pioneered and looks like it will go ahead in London pretty soon) we'll have as much storage as we like, as it can all sit on a RAID array on a wireless server at our Wireless Carrier's tech center.
