This is a normal post 4GB just isn't enough
1000 songs @ 128kbps?

Who would voluntarily encode their music at 128K?

This is a normal post Seems a bit silly as well
When you consider that Apple sell mp3s through the iTunes store at a bitrate of 296kbps.

This is a normal post the product has a niche I think

people in gyms sometimes prefer small light music players

This is a normal post Aye
Tis a good point, generally I still get on OK with my clunky old 80GB iPod though!

This is a normal post Truesay
I can't bear the thought of trying to pare down 80GB+ of music to just 4GB though

Or attending a gym

This is a normal post But I thought they were small enough already
The nanos surely can't be that heavy or clunky?

I just think this is maybe a little too excessive. And the voiceover aspect is a bit of a gimmick. If you download a song and you listen to it, surely you'll already recognise it, no?

This is a normal post to be honest it does have...
the ability to play music, a headphones socket and an on off button....none of these are featured on a USB key!

This is a normal post Unless this thing is sold at ~£30, it's pretty much doomed to fail.
The only 2 reasons I can think of to consider buying an iPod is capacity - which this doesn't have - and the information displayed on the screen - which this doesn't have.

This is a normal post It scores most suck points from me
for moving the controls to the headphone cord, *monster* suck points for not letting me use my own headphones. iPod headphones have *never* fitted my ears.
Edit:*damn* putting *emphasis* all over this post was made me look *well* rabid.

This is a normal post If they can make it THAT small, why does even need to be on a long wire that goes into your pocket?
It doesn't even need to be touched, and I assume it ain't heavy, so why not just make it a 'band behind the head' type headphone and make it a part of it? As like many folks I can't wear ear buds (no ear 'slot' outside my ear canal) so these would be useless to me.
