The rumors actually excite me - the newton was ahead of its' time. But as someone who is not an fanboy anymore (I was one of the first certified developers and was part of the initial recruiting drive for the mac) I don;t see a manufacturing quality with Apple. That is whay I bought a sansa last time for MP3's (replaceable battery) and will be purchasing one of the 16 GB sansa media units for $200 that have a better form factor than the newest nanos. Of course, I travel with a HiMD (32 hours material per disc) because I can replace the battery and not worry about being stuck in the delays and drain batteries.
