.flv files? You need either VLC of FLV viewer to view on your pc. You'll have to convert it to mp4 or another iPod-friendly file type for playing on iPods though.
I think the classics and ipod videos are still on regular hard drives. Solid state hard drives are fairly expensive. Only Touch, Nano, and Shuffle are using flash as far as I can tell.
I don't know how you use your iPod, but I have it in my front pants pocket when walking. It usually skips once or twice during my 15-20 min walk to campus. Don't even try jogging with one. Flash storage is also better for battery life.
Portable hard drives have moving parts and can skip easily.
The Touch is more of a very portable laptop for me. Web browsing, emails, chat, and all on top of music and videos in your pocket. Not a bad device if you ask me. Of course more storage would be great, but I can live with syncing only music I want to listen to.
