There are lots of imitators out there- iRiver, Creative, Dell, etc. Sony has a couple of brand new models- a Network Walkman and a Vaio portable player- that look like they could be awesome (although they seem to use some proprietary audio format).
My questions:
- Do you own a portable audio player?
- If so, which one?
- What do you think of it?
- Have you heard any good or bad stories about particular products from people you know?
- What do you really want from one of these devices?
Here are my answers:
- I own a solid state mp3 player, 256 MB RAM iRiver. I have no HD-based player.
- I don't really use it, my wife does, but it's pretty good.
- Heard nightmare stories about iPod. Also heard great stories about iPod.
- I want one device with a phone, pda functionality, and a HD big enough to hold anything I want to carry around- 40 GB might be ok today, 80 GB would be better. I want it to support mp3 format, have a rechargable battery, USB support as a removeable drive so I can store anything on it, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and video playback (which should be possible if the pda is iPaq/Pam style).
Am I nuts for wanting all of this? You tell me.
