Indeed. Except the difference here is that there are enthusiasts still updating the open source software and it works on a variety of hardware, so the chance of survival is good, but I doubt it will become mainstream again. I have a nice little collection of things that have "lost" - HD-DVD, HP webOS Touchpad/Phone, Squeezebox Touch. I did buy the HD-DVD and webOS stuff after they lost, so very cheaply and the Squeezebox Touch is probably worth more now than I paid for it new. Thanks all for the opinions on the advantages, but I'm afraid not many are relevant to the average person. I don't think they care about hi-res, when mp3's are enough and 60K tracks is quite a collection.
