That might be the case. I found it interesting that I did spot a "HDD Player" for less than $50 - how much could it have added to add an the other features?

Japan appears to be about to get what I want or close to it:

I think the problem really is that the portable form factor is so
dominate there really isn't any need to avoid miniaturization.  You
can get a box that accepts an iPod as a music source with speakers and
a charging system for upwards of $50 and a refurbished iPod from
apple's online store for anywhere from $79 to $220 depending on how
much capacity you want.

You may not want an iPod to carry around but it still may be the least
expensive path to what you want.
