Well - space, speed and cost. Large amounts of flash are very costly and it isn't all that fast. I am not sure at what point hard disks become cheaper - a gig or so, perhaps... If you seriously want a box to compete with an ipod in the MP3 stakes, it needs at least a couple of gig I would have thought.
