>Storage isn't being expanded because the demand for local storage is decreasing for most users - where someone used to sling around gigs of music it's now streamed on-demand. Ditto videos.
Is this a feature that the users want? Or a feature that iTunes, Google, Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify want? It's interesting to me that the "drive for bigger drives" stopped the exact moment monetization of cloud services came on the scene.
Me, I'd LOVE to have my entire MP3 connection on my tablet. I'd also like to have enough space to put a half-dozen movies on my tablet for long car/airplane trips. Hell, give me a 1 TB drive and I can store most of my entire video collection in my tablet.
But they're not making tablets that big. Coincidence?
You're probably right, I don't "need" expandability. I _do_ need more built-in memory.
