It's 60GB per disk, so they can keep the physical size of the drive very small. Other HDDs have more than one disk to make up the platter, hence the larger size.

I just read in my maximum pc magazine (yesterday) that Samsung has already gotten to work and near completion on 100GB 1.8" drives. Which, they say, will trump the 60GB maximum currently available. So, just think, 100GB Ipod for like 300 bucks. Thats like a million songs or more :)

laptops use 2.5" drives (with the exception of a few smaller ones)
