i addressed this in my last posts, but the main thing is that you decrease the cost of the fat client, and keep it solid state. you would want it to be able to read any media, be it flash or card or HD or on the network, or whatever... but i think its unecessary to have MUSIC storage internal to the device, unless its like a small flash amount. it also keeps the SB smaller and lighter, and less power needy.
