Hmm- well, in between the time that it was anticipated (and delayed) and the time it made it to market I must have lost focus and stopped looking for it.
These days, if I wanted to replace my personal mp3 player I'd be tempted by a Trekstor Vibez- if they'd only make it a large capacity flash memory player... or swapable memory player... which brings us back to the FL stuff. Last I saw of Trekstor, they seemed to be minimizing their product line and market.

Honestly, with microSD cards already at 8GB how hard would it be to have a bank of slots on a player? Why *wouldn't* you want to pop cards in and out of a player? A lot of phones do just that now. Why can't you pop an 8GB card into an iPod shuffle?
