This is relative, too. If you only consider it an MP3 player, I agree it is large by today's standards. But if you consider that it is also a portable web browser, e-book reader, game console, still camera, and video camera all wrapped up into one device, it is very compact.

Ditto with the iPhone. It is pretty thick & clunky now, but when one considers all that it is in it, it is VERY small, since it has everything in one device.

If you only consider it an MP3 player, it is large.

I don't know about fragile. It is solid-state; no moving parts except four buttons. The screen can be scratched or cracked, but most MP3 players have that possibility, and no easier than a Touch.
