Sounds like a great product, but the technical "crap" has to be cut back on.
That just doesn't to appeal to 90% of the kids from my generation.
Seriously, nobody ever carries anything other than an iPod for music. Ask randomly in schools, mine at least (which is a large state comprehensive of about 1500 pupils), and 9 out of every 10 kids you ask will have an iPod of some sort, and most are likely to be quite unwilling to give their "cool" iPods up.
Some of those who own iPod Nanos buy a new one when it is released; it's an annual event for them.
This sounds great to people who understand what an OLED screen is, but nobody other than us techies gives a sh*t. Cruel truth. I can't see it defeating iPod. I'm no expert, but I know people my age quite well, and I think that's where the money is.

I don't think this is aimed at the kids to tell you the truth and I couldn't give a hoot if it topples the iPod / iPod touch or not. Who really cares.
Its a lot more appealing AFAIC.

I would rather be different from everyone else dont like Apple. I have had for 4 years a Creative Zen Touch 30 giga byte mp3 player and for me the sound is amazing. I dont care about video though i guess young kids do. I am not a jump on the what everyone else is doing bandwagon

Neither am I, but most are. I have to say though, nothing comes close to my iPod 5.5G 80GB. Awesome media player. Screen may be the size of a peanut, but the HDD is massive, and it works relatively fuss-free. And iTunes takes some beating in terms of music management!

I honestly thought it was going to be a lot more expensive than it is for some reason - £200 seems just about OK for a hot piece of kit.
It would be nice to have a choice of headphones, though the screen does sound amazing from the reviews I have read.

Well, 'What-hifi' say it sounds great! Their disapointments are the headphones and the poor internet experience.
For me the most important part is the music quality, I can always change the headphones. So, ya, it sounds like it is all that when it comes to audio.
