A HUGE feature IMHO that Apple and others are leaving out is that these new ipods record high quality stereo from a mic, into wav files. After recording, simply mount your ipod then drag the file to your desktop.
Nope. Live performance is the turf of BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC.
...Who are nothing more than collection agencies for the copyright owners of the music being performed. The copyright owners happen to be: the record companies!
Rar. I'm not buying albums; I'm just going to shows.
Agreed. The future for musicians in making money is from live performances. Not from selling albums. It has been clear for many years that no one cares to buy an $18 CD that only has one song you want on it. And also with electronics/computers replacing recording studio musicians, live performances will be how those musicians make money.
Congrats on your +5 Insightful, despite not knowing any facts about what you are talking about.
1. ipods run MP3's natively.
In case you haven't been around in the last year, the current minidisc players play mp3s. No encoding to other formats. Also, these have the ability to record in raw PCM stereo, with a mic. And upload it USB to your computer to edit.
...And it's a great portal into a digital music store.
If you love DRM, enjoy. Not me.
4. You can use ipods like portable hard drives. Because they are.

BBC News is already working on making 24/7 audio and video news available for free download, starting next year. Oh and, no ads. Just news.
Not intelligent design?

Anyone else see the headline and read it as Vista Licensing Speeds Linux Movie ?
B/C Apple would rather you buy music from their store to fill up your iPod, rather than listen to the radio.

Windows 64 seems to be a good deal.
Until you try to find 64bit drivers for your hardware...
GNU/Linux(TM) , I think you mean to say!
Okay for me, Firefox, Fedora 4. 1600x1200 using 21" Apple Studio Display (please don't laugh).
What about the annoying rar format? Hope it can de/compress that.

And yes, you can also use the new minidisc models as external USB storage drives. 1GB disc are about $6 each.
but unless your taste in music changes every 30 seconds,
I don't know... the way pop music on the radio is these days....
$200 for a flash drive is nothing.
The current Hitiachi drive alone in the mini is $500.
Whatever happened to portability?
It's here.
This will be the Google Instant Messaging Program.
Sorry, GIMP is already taken.
Are there any portable music players that support .ogg vorbis yet? (and are they any good?)
Yes, and yes. Linux friendly, also.
Check out the iAudio X5. Plays all sorts of formats, and is Linux friendly. No software, just drag and drop you stuff onto it and it plays.
