cute, but the fact is that you can't hold that much on a pocket pc i believe. and the cost is only cheap if you already have a pocket pc.

any modern palm or pocket pc can play music, but like Mac mentioned, its a matter of storage space. Now I do believe storage is getting more and more for the palms, but nowhere near the ipods capacity.

I personally like the mp3 playing jump drive they've got now, pretty nice, small, probably holds about 3 or 4 albums?

If it was based completely on storage, then companies that had 40GB MP3 players before the iPod would be selling more.

So it isn't all based on storage.
