I'm thinking 6 or 8 for a slim player, and at least 40 for a HDD-based player. Flash prices are coming way down; you can get a 16GB CompactFlash card for under $200 (after rebate) if you are careful. So, what I am saying here is that you will be getting 30GB players without moving parts pretty soon. Imagine, shock-resistant, low power-consumption, and slim, too! Just be sure to include an FM tuner. HD radio would be a plus, but I not aware of any digital music players that support that yet. Oh, and the more formats that the player supports, the better (wmv, mp3, ogg, aac, flac, speex, etc etc). Also, include a voice recorder. And if you build WiFi into the thing, for criminy's sake, make it possible to surf your online store from the device! sheesh!

One thing I have found is that none of them (with one or two rare exceptions) have BT. My ideal playa would have at least 20GB HD, a nice big screen and be able to play audio, music, video, and picture slideshows. And I would love BT. Screw Wifi, give me BT. Right now I have a Creative Zen Portable Media Center (the failed precurser to the Zune. I love the storage space it offers. Oh and ideally, I want something slim so that I can slip it in my pocket. You did good with the Sansa. :) Doug Steve,
