Wouldn't It Be Cool To Get An Internal .85" Hdd

flash memory is the future. SD cards are getting bigger all the time and are much lighter and better for battery life than hard drives.

Just invest in a 4gb SD card.

Hard drives are faster though...

And breaks more easily...

Assuming an internal HD was possible:

1) It would drain the batteries (think of laptops). <_<
2) Movement/vibration could damage the HD during normal use (eg playing on the GP2x!) :blink:
3) Cost vs SD cards.
4) Extra heat inside the GP2x.
5) Unit cost.
6) SD cards are up to 4gig anyway, so why bother? :huh:
7) Expanding - if you need more space, at least with SD cards you just buy more.
8) Great - another version of the GP2x with different firmware - wa hoo! :blink:
