I write about uninstalling everything from my desktop and have all data online and only use online webapplications. So 32 GB is more than enough for my uninstalled PC.

But the most important thing to me: it eats up less batteries. So with the same set of cells, I can shift the power around. Instead of using batteries to rotate plates I'll use them for RF transmitters. Bluetooth, WiFi, EVDO, WiMax, Edge, etc. Instead of having a bigger local hard disk, I'll have always on access to the biggest disk out there: the Web. To me, trading moving parts for RFs, local storage for infinite storage is the way of the future. It’s faster, smaller, more reliable. But the most important thing to me: it eats up less batteries.
