> Who IS the target market for something like this? It's almost as big as a phone, and costs as much as many phones... Me, but I aint paying $800 for it (if I understood the article correctly). Give me a walkman made specifically for listening to music with 250GB+ and without all the pain to move music onto and off of the device and can last _weeks_ on a single charge with regular use and I would purchase the shit out of it. I feel like a lot of people don't realize just how leashed they are with modern phones. My favorite phone ever is an old Palm phone that I still have to this day because I refuse to throw it away. It's smaller than the original SE, far lighter, and could last up to two weeks on a single charge. Contrast that with the 3rd gen SE I have now and I'd give it up in a heartbeat if something like that Palm arrived. But it won't, so moving the music playing experience off of the phone is a good step to loosening that leash.
