things have stopped me. First off is the much larger capacity of the
iPod. I have 20GB of audio books, 20GB of music, 5GB of podcasts, and
1-2GB of photos. At times when I've had videos, I've just about maxed
out the 60GB capacity. Currently the biggest card for the Treo is 4GB
and even that requires you to install an unofficial firmware. Secondly,
the iPod has a feature which I know is not one that is important to
many, but it is to a select group of us. That is the ability to speed
up the playback of spoken word audio 20 or 25% (without effecting the
pitch). Meaning I can listen to 72.5 or 75 minutes of audio books or
podcasts in 60 minutes. Considering how many podcasts I listen to and
my large backlog of audio books I need to read, this is a huge
time-saver. I'm sure I've saved days if not weeks of listening due to
this feature! Now, if Apple ever does come out with a next-get iPod
with a large widescreen, that will mean that video, too, will have an
advantage, at least as far as display. Now, if the Treo 800 has a
widescreen display that's twice the size of the 650's, and comes with a
60GB hard drive built in, and lets you speed up audio playback, then I'm
all over it! ;)
