I dig my Zune - but it ain't workin' with mac!

What's the point in a comment like this? I own an 80gb Zune, and very much enjoy it. I had an iPod Touch for a few months and enjoyed it, too. No doubt Microsoft is struggling to get the Zune off the ground, but that doesn't make it a bad product. Remember that the harder other companies try to compete, the better all the products get. Win, win for us consumers.

This was one damn funny Colbert Report, I must say. Anyone else cringe the other night when he ham-handedly slapped the touch screen repeatedly with his knuckles like an ape trying to work a computer? Finesse, Colbert! FINESSE!

Justin - they used to make hard drive players. . . but you're right, lately I haven't seen a single one from them.

I'm seeing a lot of complaints about battery life here. 4 hours on what appears to be a REMOVABLE battery in a device this slim? Sign me up.

I am personally tired of the rounded plastic look. This reminds me of a Zen Vision: M. It looks toy-like and to agree with "newgalactic", that empty space in the center does look wasted - even if it lends itself to a cleaner look. Personally, I like my soft-keys as close to the screen as possible. Interesting design choices on this one.

16gb WITH a standard SD card slot? That's just golden. SDHC or not, you're looking at AT LEAST 20gb in flash player. I'll TAKE it.

I couldn't disagree more, Pablo. If you're a person who doesn't want to follow the story as it happens, and you come to the site to get the full recap, you'd get the story BACKWARDS following your logic. I wouldn't want that. Especially if there are spoilers. Endgadet's method is the most intuitive way of live reporting along a timeline of events.

Now if we can just get a size comparison photo of that PMP next to the other coins of the world. . . . For all I know, that coin could be the size of the 'ol US 50 cent piece.

Hey CharlieX - I really do think this is intended for at least a semi-pro audience. If you're shooting HDV that you care about enough to review in the field between shoots - you're probably not just a consumer shooting home videos.

I'll be very surprised if this device actually does carry the consumer-based "Walkman" name when launched.

Completely agree, Greenlight. I'm in the US - but the only way I can get the ease of use I want with a music phone (Sony Ericsson w810i) is to buy it unlocked. It's a simple drag & drop with the supplied USB cable (though I go the faster route of using a memory card reader.) Beautifully simple.
