RIght there already is the 160 ipod classic (you knew that right?!), I've heard rumours but nothing concrete of a 128 ipod touch (lord alone knows what that's going to cost!).  What people are now doing is getting a 5th gen ipod video and sticking a 256 msata ssd in.  They are also sticking a 240 gig hard drive in as well.

how does that work exactly putting a new hd in a ipod?

If they come out with a new one, my question is the plug........

By gutting said ipod, some ipod have detachable hdd as long as you can open the thing

My classic is really old and looking LOD to Solo/Fostex. If new model is lighting line out it would be a different choice instead of the venturecraft 30 pin to USB.

I'm sure they will change it- they seem to be changing all their devices to the knew pins.

Yes this is my concern 
 
because I have so many Lod 30 pin to USB 
now with the new lightning look like not so much cable I can do DIY Lightnng to USB , because the lightning connector to small to fit thicker cable .
 
the same like CL class - dV use mini B USB , now I have limited cable I can do with this 
Ones

It is strange that Apple has not come out with larger iTouch...memory is cheap...64GB jump drive is $25-50??
 
At one time the classic had a 250GB HDD...
 
One can only assume that the iCloud is the reason for holding back larger drives...I would like to see 1TB portability...WD drives are under $100 for 1.5TB.
 
64GB is wayyy too small for hi-rez.

If you do a search on youtube for ipod classic swop hard drive, you'll see videos on how to do it.  There's a choice for the 5th and 7th gen of a 240 gig toshiba hard drive available on ebay for about £80 or so.  Or if you have a 5th gen you can swop the hard drive out for a 256 msata (needs a certain adaptor, again on ebay or amazon)ssd drive.
