Really? I thought my 32GB flash one was the smallest.

It is not. At least not with how we would probably use the term. System storage on my ARCHOS is 114MB right now. I have a bunch of apps installed, but most are tiny book samples. "Internal storage" is 30GB, of which about 20.5GB are presently available, after I loaded some content on.
