I am wondering why other dedicated stuff doesn't seem to have a future despite its own physical nature. E.g. Chumby shot down, there haven't been much demand for WikiReaders lately and I was actually worried for e-paper ebook readers until Amazon released a new generation this Fall. I admire physical things like LPs, but they are not practival for my liking, I decided against them when buying my first Hi-Fi system back in 1999 and I still do now. I think my next Hi-Fi system will be a nice DAC for a computer (would be nice to find a good one that supports Blueetooth AND USB at the same time) plus a nice pair of monitor speakers. ADAM A5X's could have digital inputs, as they have digital amps already anyway, but they don't. One thing I love about LPs, though, is that they have such huge space for gorgeous art.
