Apple often differentiates in devices based on the memory capacity. e.g. iPad - 16 GB, 32GB, and recently 128GB has been announced.

Why not just allow expandable memory. Storage capacity doubles every 18 months. At this rate of progress, it is rather annoying to upgrade device, rather than just switching the memory card.
e.g. I have an old iPod, i love it, but its only 4GB, so I can't have many songs. Would love if i could just upgrade the memory myself.
