I'm getting a little tired of flash players, to tell you the truth. Who are these things for? Stupid people? Honestly, I've only seen idiots carrying iPod Nanos. It just isn't very much space, I don't understand why you would want one unless it was really cheap. I mean, if you're a mindless drone and you need a goddamn iPod, you can't exactly complain about the size of the video iPod. Even the 80 GB one is small enough to slip in a pocket.
Anyway, my point is I'm not entirely sure Sony should be trying to compete with the Nano in the first place. Make a good device to compete with the larger, hard drive-based models.
On that note, I think the second Zune (you know it's coming; I'd wager before the end of 2007) might be the thing I've been waiting for to replace my fifth gen iPod...

Okay, Aaron, riddle me this: I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Core Duo), with 100GB of hard disk space. I also have approximately 75GB of RAW images at enormous resolutions (I am a photographer, but I live off a laptop, 'cause I need it for school) and several huge pieces of software. I only have 5GB of music, and then maybe another 10GB of free space on top of that, which I need for images. So, should I drop half a grand for an 80GB iPod? Or should I maybe get a small, sleek, light, iPod nano 8G? Like Will said: we don't all have 80GB of music!

flash mp3 players are for people who are active. i've broken mp3 players w/ miniHD's like the ipod video just by jogging. my iriver and sansa hold up to all the motion just fine. have fun sitting on your couch w/ your 80GB ipod.

Well... I can only assume you've never exercised once in your life... a regular ipod will just not do for (nearly) anyone that runs or does cardio. I know this might seem crazy, but there are other uses for an ipod besides what you choose to use it for.
