Or you carry a SD card with you which you do not connect in your Palm Pre. Instead, you shove it straight up her lap. If you're really on it, shell your N800 with 2 32 GB SD cards and use BlueTooth or something to give your Palm Pre access to 'em; just to give an example of a quick hack should the rare occurance become true. I'm not saying you don't have a point, but I am saying you're exagerating the relevance of your point. With 8 GB you can have 3 videos (1 GB), tons of HQ maps (1 GB), Wikipedia encyclopedia (2 GB) and still have 50% free for HQ pictures, music, and application. Yes, at some point 8 GB is a joke for on-board storage, and at that point this makes the device less attractive second hand on this regard. That is a given.
Don't think that hadn't occured to me. The fact that I still have my N800 with two SDHC slots made me think that it might compliment the Pre quite nicely for a bunch of reasons (more storage space, more hackable as near as I can tell so far, terminal and shell, etc) but if the Pre had more space, I might not even need to carry around yet another device like the N800 on a trip.
