People have been talking about how the "next ipod" will likely be flash based instaad of HDD based. And how the transition from the Mini to the Nano was an example of Apple making the investment to do what was right for the device.
In my opinion, Sony needs to decide if they are a believer in this market or not. If they are they need to decide to do what is needed to be in the market. They need to seize the opportunity not keep making incremental engineering prototype introductions and instead market a true production device.
The limitations of the devices are part of what is holding this market back.
If they keep sticking their toe in, eventually Apple will finally decide its time to come along and show them how to do it.
