How Far Can Apple Take The iPod Classic?

That is the question. Roughly doubling the capacity of the iPod Classic every 12 months or so , how far can iPod take the iPod classic. At the moment the iPod classic can either be bought at 80gb or 160gb which I still think a lot of people can still fill up with their collections of music and movies combined. But when will Apple have to either abandon the original click wheel design or start adding features to keep it fresh.

If they keep doubling the capacity of the iPod every 12 months then eventually there could be an issue with the technology not being available. Think about it, I reckon this year either a 200gb, 250gb or 320gb will come out. 90% of people don't have that much media!

The idea is working for now but eventually the iPod dream ride is going to come to a halt if Apple don't start adding features to make it a successful product. Bluetooth, Wifi, a Camera, Maps and a Portable iTunes store are some of the things I have already talked about here on iPod iDeas and Apple really need to consider some.
