That always leads me to the question, what is seamless worth?
I run Sansa Clip+s for my audio needs. They cost about 1/8 an iPod Nano 5th gen, and sound just as good. But to play something, I have to search and select music, then folders, then usb chip, (it has an external micro usb chip slot), the select the folder (playlist) I want and play. It's around 15 button manipulations.
I don't doubt that the iPod is more seamless. But how much is the 10-15 seconds to get it going worth? (I don't care about the color screen, I use a music player for playing music only, not for seeing color pictures.)
