I can tell you that yes, there are SSD drives that can read/write at those speeds. I work
in hardware test/develop and have testyed these drives. Can't wait to create my own
media player using one of these drives.

I can’t believe anyone would admit to using iTunes. Are you sad enough to still be using a mac or were you just dropped on your head as a child.

It is so easy to say….I want 64GB memory, light weight and portable, should play all types of music files….”
I work for a chip company and man what you get is the best ..it can’t get any better. It is not just the question of price as you can see with Apple iphone, but it is the question of having all the features in a good design.
Apple might be considering ipods with full screen and touch controls…that ‘t the max you can get…wake up to the real world my friend….

To me, iPod nano remains the most lightweight portable player in the current market.

Nice summary of needed features, hopefully we’ll see a product with all those features in the near future.

This piece is pretty unimaginative. I’m obsessed with the pull between small size and big screen, and I think the near-term answer is a device that folds. The distant answer being a device that displays content close to or perhaps directly on your eyes.

Fail. Epic fail.

My old karma has 20gb of space, 16+ hours of battery life, support for mp3/aac/ogg/FLAC/wav, an excellent eq, great sound quality and a nice interface. It’s a little fat, but aside from that it kicks any ipod’s ass.

All you iFanboys make me sad.

If you want the perfect Video PMP, you should check out the Archos 605 WIFI 4GB. It is flash based, plays all video formats (ie DIVX), has Wi-Fi, and a touch screen. And it is only $229!

BTW, Walkman was a bad example. Xerox or Kleenex would have been better.
