The specs are nice, but who needs a hard drive? Why not just throw in a 16GB SDHC card which the user can upgrade to a larger size later, when they get cheaper.
think of the average consumer. one of my friends thought his ipod touch had a hard drive. most people dont know the difference and wouldnt ever upgrade.
Audi's previous nav system did in fact play MP3s from SD cards (my 2002 does it). Also, the AMI mentioned in the article lets you connect not only iPods (which it can control natively) but pretty much any PMP as well as plain old USB hard drives. It automagically finds MP3s and playlists stored on the HDD and lets you navigate around and play them.
