Of all the comments, I guess it's always the last one that people reply to or comment on....

I've been contemplating myself on whether to buy the i-Pod .... blah blah blah blah blah .... I would have expected SONY to come with it's own "fashion statement," something different, a "wow factor." .... blah blah blah .... it may end up becoming the Betamax of portable music player. .... blah blah...."

You don't have an i-Pod and you have never even compared it to the Sony HD1, so your personal views really don't matter. FYI.... Betamax was actually the better format (by far), but unfortunately lost the battle against VHS only because most of the other manufacturers wanted to compete against Sony rather than sell out to it. Unfortunately for us consumers, we have suffered it for the past 30'ish years.

Oh yes, another option is to retire my 6610 and get the latest hand phone with an mp3 player function.

It's pretty obivous that a dedicated personal music player is going to be better than a phone that also plays music, and takes photos, and has games, and all the other dumb stuff that a so called "phone" really does not need to do!!

But for serious music, why would any one choose other than an i-Pod?

Well, maybe because it converts MP3 into ATRAC, so in fact does in a way support MP3. Also it has a battery life!!!!!!!!!!
But don't worry about my silly comments, you go out and buy yourself an i-Pod. Have fun with it, stroke it, kiss it, lick it, insert it wherever you feel is necessary, but there is no need to pass judgement on it's rivals. Especially when it is either the closest challenge to date, as good as, or better.
