I posted about this yesterday; as time has gone on, I've found myself wanting a separate camera and music player from my phone. The best music player I've ever used is the iPod classic (a couple Nano models were okay too), it was focused, lightweight, and not distracting. Would love for someone to build a modern iPod mini/nano with just 8 or 16 GB of memory for under $100, but I'm guessing the click wheel is patented?
