You said -- "I think they will need a 20-30 gb version of this baby too. But the price right now at $600 for 8 gb seems too high for me."
To get those storage sizes, they would have to go for the mini-hard drives and that would make the size a factor. It couldn't be as small as what they have with the iPhone. Another problem would be the power requirements. They would have to beef up the battery, too. So, all in all, it would be clunkier if they did that.
With what they have now, it's flash memory. And soon enough (maybe another year or so), they'll be up to 20 GB of flash memory. You'll have to wait until then.

I believe without too much more overall size (and I would take the additional 1/10 inch thickness overall), they could have a 30 Gb iPhone and the battery to power it...but I will be happy to take a 20 Gb flash version if it comes out first.
For the device to have enough overall memory to act as a cell phone, camera, PDA, music player, video player, wireless internet, wireless email, etc., etc...I just believe 6-8 Gb is going to end up being too small.
Just my own opinion.
