Google Executive Predicts Future iPod Capacity

There was no mention of the exponentially growing capacity of hand-held storage, the future of magnetic storage vs. other mechanisms or the expected rate of video production. The story does suggest that, until recently, few dreamed of having their entire music collection in their pocket on an iPod. And so what will be the social consequences and commercial prospects of an iPod in 12 years that can contain every video one could ever want? This is fascinating reading.
