I would certainly see that MP3 players, as separate devices, will go away since "everyone" will have a phone. I would think that counter top Internet radio devices wouldn't but they may never be the dominant delivery platform. There are things my Internet radios can and should do that wouldn't necessarily make sense on a phone.

FWIW my Blackberry already has it, but I haven't yet used it that way...I already own an inexpensive 1Gb Sandisk. Mr. Srebnick gave us an example of mobile phones' Internet audio applications in his Internet radio demo / panel discussion at the Fest. Perhaps that's why Panasonic & Sony have stayed away...they see these things as short-term products that are at risk for near-term obsolescence.
