i would really like to see one in person. they sound and look really nice. i wonder what video formats they can play. this is the one area where apple has really dropped the ball. their photo ipod cant even connect to cameras like a lot of other ones. (apples behind in the mini player (4-5gb) but thats not as bad of a defecit)
the thing is, i dont see these taking off as quickly as music players. the portable music industry already existed, then the digital audio player revolutionized it. ipods were kinda slow to catch on, but now DAPs are coming out all the time and some crazy number of americans own them. but portable video is a whole new arena. i just dont see many people fancying the idea of watching a movie on the go. i would say the next direction is combination PDAs and big storage. an ideal device for me would be the motorola razer with a 20gig hard drive. thatd be sweet.
