    Wow, so if someone writes a fix for Rockbox, my Sansa e200 Series MP3 player could, like, be frickin loaded with content.

    Whoa

    one problem tho, currently mobile devices support up to 32gb only. How will they recognize 64gb cards that weren't even in the initial spec?

    @(Starman) AnalysisDialysis: Unfortunately, no AAC--just MP3, WMA, protected WMA, Audible, FLAC, and OGG. Not sure why AAC's left off, actually, it'd make sense for the Clip+ to support it.

    @Dan Nosowitz: I'm actually surprised that protected WMA is on the list. And I can understand leaving Apple Lossless off, but no AAC? I think it would make more sense, too, seeing how it gives off more quality sound at lower bit-rates and takes less space than MP3s.

    If you use a PMP while working out and you use an iPod, I question your sanity. At $50 these are great for tough environments, and it's guilt free when you beat it to a pulp, soak it in sweat, and it finally fails. I find it funny to watch people trying to work out while cradling and protecting their precious iPhones and iPods.

    @DustyButt™: Agreed. When a water/sweat resistant iPod makes it to market, my opinion will change, but the newer gen Nanos seem to not be as moisture resistant as the G1/G2.

    I'm seriously thinking about this for the motorcycle, but my iTunes dependency is preventing my purchase.... for now.

    With a name like Clip+, I was expecting a more creative and user-friendly form of DRM, something to really make me want to pull the trigger on this lusty gadget.

    Like every time you want to listen to it, you have to stick your finger into the slot and let it "clip" off a sliver of fingernail in order to confirm a proper DNA match before the music plays.

    If anyone is wondering who buys these things, it's people like me...

    I buy them online for around $20 bucks, load them with an hour or two of music and use it when I workout. After 6-10 months of being dropped, splashed, stepped on, and humidified by a heavy sweater, they eventually crumble and corrode away.

    Then I just buy a new one without shedding a single tear.

    I couldn't really care less about the other jibber-jabber.

    In reply to Apple's Biggest PMP Competitor: "You Can't Out-iPod the iPod"
    I don't recall SanDisk ever trying to actually "out-iPod" the iPod. Firstly, SanDisk just throws a lot of different designs out there and gives them lots of meaningless alphanumeric designations, which pretty much drives any individual player into obscurity, whereas Apple is easier to market simply because there's only one name, with the only difference being capacity. If companies want to take an actual stab at approaching the iPod on its own terms, take a look at the Zune, which actually has a well put together ecosystem and decent hardware that isn't hard to remember, though I don't think that the name is particularly good (because it's not as memorable). This sounds more like a cheap excuse to not try any harder than facing reality.

    In reply to Apple's Biggest PMP Competitor: "You Can't Out-iPod the iPod"
    The problem is that the term "iPod" has become to music players what Xerox is to copiers. I doubt Zune is going to break into that stranglehold much.

    @mikeness: An interesting comparison, especially given how few businesses actually use Xerox copiers today.


    At this point the only thing that will bring down the iPod is the convergence of MP3 players with phones, and Apple has positioned themselves as the leader of that, as well.

    To this, I say: Good.


    It'll mean having to make the most of the capacity given, rather than simply having to increase capacity more and more to handle it

    Pffft. Everything in the history of computers says there is no wall. Not only is memory capacity increasing, the rate at which it is increasing is increasing.

    @frigg: They may have been true before, but that obviously can't go on forever. And we are finally reaching a wall. Because the size of the transistors and lanes is becoming so small that they will leak electrons, a problem called "quantum tunneling". This is already a proven problem. So around 16 or 11nm we need to figure out a new way of making chips, and a new material to use that can prevent this. The most popular idea is using graphene.

    @Kakkoister: Just as there are always arguments why Moore's Law can't continue, and then it does, storage also has a way of overcoming barriers.


    Not that it's not real, but I'd bet that the notion that quantum tunneling signals the end of road is like saying 960 bits is the end of the road because an IBM punch card can only be punched so many times before the paper falls apart.
