Ehh...
Don't compare a MP3 player with a PalmPilot... It's not fear.
The PalmPilot is the most usefull organiser in the world. It does
everything you need in an organiser and nothing more. Period. It's
portable and it has a long battery live. I know nobody who stopped using
his PalmPilot after (s)he bought it.
On the other hand, MP3 players are impractical and have some major
design flaws. Example: What is 20 hours of playing time worth if the
flash-ram can only contain 1 hour of music?
