My bet is that if there is no inbuilt hard drive as standard then either:

1) There will be an enhanced Xbox2 available for those that need/want the extra storage (leaving the basic model for those who want just the console)
[Not sure on this, but it has been rumoured somewhere]

2) It will link easily to your home PC, so that you can use your PC's hard drive to store large data

3) It will be able to write info to recordable disks

4) They will rely on some other form of storage.

I can't believe that M$ will neglect the need for downloadable content - They have put so much effort into Live that they would not risk it, by removing such an important part.

Also I'm sure that M$ want to see the Xbox2 become some sort of Home Hub entertainment system (eg games, movies, music etc) - that they will need to have some sort of mass storage.
