    What is the advantage of a harddisk on a phone when you can use
other types of memory instead?  Seems a little odd to cram a harddisk in
when you can use Compact Flash or Smart Media instead....Unless of
course it isn't just for audio and video content...

    Could someone tell me why its a good idea?  Maybe for marketing?
This is not my area of specialty so I might be wrong about this.
