Right now, Apple kind of has a lock on the market for flash chips, so if you want to get a player with the kind of capacity you're talking about, you have to go with a Nano.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, no one else has a flash player with anywhere near the capacity of the Nano. I'm not really sure, but I think the max for a non-Nano flash player might be 1 Gig.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The search for the perfect Flash MP3 player is winding to a close...but now that I've seen this, I'm sorely tempted: [link]

I think the Sony mp3 players look cool. Dunno much about them though (except they finally ditched their stupid propriatary file format/DRM scheme).

I kinda figured that was coming when they announced that the next Treo would run Windows Mobile.
I guess it's time to start saving to upgrade to a new PDA phone next year. I'd love to cling to the Treo 650, but I've played with one too many abandoned OSes over the years and my experience is that it's best to just see the writing on the wall and move on.
I've had a Palm since the original Palm Pilot.
Then again, I also had a Newton 2000 and 2100.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh. Guess I'll wait to get a new PDA then.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, I was just thinking good thing I realized I was short of cash before jumping on the TX.
