Welcome to PPCT wajical - but I don't think Apple has had to deal with the kind of issues Windows Mobile does - playing songs is far less taxing than a full scale OS, and Apple doesn't need to handle all the other associated hardware that a WM device has too. It's one thing to use memory chips, it's quite another to shove a 2.5" or 1.8" hard drive, with the associated heat, next to sensitive electronic components.
In any case, if a Windows Mobile device has a CFII slot it's a fairly easy matter to add a hard drive. This is also what Sharp did with their Zaurus line (4GB/6GB) and Palm did with the Lifedrive (4GB) - and both have heat and speed issues. The problem with hard drives as opposed to flash memory is that they're s-l-o-w, even slower than the storage ROM used currently (I'm speaking from experience here). That's why Samsung's development is more than welcome.
