Toshiba's 100GB 1.8'' Hard Drive
PCWorld reports on Toshiba's newly announced 100GB 1.8" hard drive.
The new drive is expected to start production in January 2007. Similar drives are currently being used in the Apple iPod but top out at a maximum of 80GB. The drive will be on show at the Consumer Electronic Show which takes place between January 8th to 11th.
While the drive is being billed as the largest 1.8" drive, Seagate announced 120GB 1.8" drives which were targeted for the last quarter of 2006.

Cool, but I doubt Apple will take advantage of this 'till the true Video iPod is released

Always good to have another 20GB to play with in the premium model, but I can't see them being put into the current iPod line-up - they'll possibly surface with the 6G full video ones.
And to be honest i'd always choose a thinner, smaller capacity model.

If it's just music than yes, but if I'm gonna be stuffing my movies on the thing I want as much space as I can get. i do agree with you on the music front, but unfortunately I can't get 1/8th of my library on my 4 gig Nano.

The advancement of capacities in the 1.8" hard drive sector amaze me. 100GB on a 1.8" platter (well, 4 sides of platters, so 25GB a side, but ...). Far more progress in this area than in the 2.5" hard drive sector.
This will see use in a future iPod, it just depends on when, which depends on how many can be made - Apple need quite a few!
Hopefully this will mean 40-50GB single-platter drives too, replacing the 30GB drives in the $249 iPod.
My iBook only has 40GB :(
