The same line has been used in the past so many times and continues to get used and its always inevitably wrong.

You are right, porn on the iPod, cellphone, computer or whatever does use memory but, extra memory is dirt cheap these days and with large companies such as Apple, Sony and Microsoft looking at ways to get portable storage something that we will all have in our homes in the next 3-5 years, 'storage' isnt an issue at all.

Microsoft have already unveiled a new product which will be in the stores later this year that will store digital media files in a 'coffee table' type setup with touch screen technology for just $5k.

Digital media IS going to be the next physical product, it isnt going to be long before we all have a card that we swipe which takes money out of our bank accounts, logs us in to work, keeps our medical reocrds, social security numbers, etc, etc.... We're in the 21st century, not the 20th.

I already take a portable USB keychain storage device that holds 4gb with me wherever i go.

Let me rephrase it, then:

DVD's may go with the new wave of technology, but there will ALWAYS be a demand for an actual, physical product that you can hold in your hand instead of data on a drive.
It may be DVD, BluRay or some new technology like those mini-cd's that Agent K had the White Album on in "Men in Black."

My point is: People like to OWN things.
