alright fine it stores its value till the next input come in...but isn't that the same thing thats happening in combinational circuits? then why are they not memory devices?

Combinational circuits are like NAND Gates, NOR Gates, etc. They have no memory. Set up their inputs and you get an output. Take the inputs away and the output is undefined. Not true for a Flip-Flop, which once set remembers its state with no input.

You answered your question about the flip flops. They put thousands of flip flops on a single IC and it acts as memory. I don't recall combination circuits.
