Well, "need" may not be the best word here.  But again, your own need
may not be for one, whereas I could easily see a need for more space.  I
have 40+ GB worth of pictures, music, podcasts, and audiobooks on my
iPod.  I could easily see being able to use a 300GB device by dumping my
DVD collection to it, and that's just the movie/tv epsisode, and not any
of the special features.  Trust me, no matter how much space you have,
you will eventually find ways of filling it - or at least some of us
will ;-)  1300 pictures in 2GB is a lot, so I'm assuming that you aren't
taking raw, and maybe not even taking pictures on the highest quality
setting.  My camera is also 6.1MP and it will store less than 400 RAW
images on a 2GB card.  As far as the Treo 650 not being able to handle
more than 2GB, this it only can deal with the FAT16 file format, which
only allows up to 2GB of space.  There are hacks (a message was posted
just yesterday about this) where you can replace the firmware (ROM) of
the Treo with a different one that has the capability to read cards
formatted with FAT32 (over 2GB).
