MP3 Player musings

I have the worst luck with cables. Video, Ethernet, headphones, the first two always seem to break their tiny necks even though I treat more gently than my cat. Then the headphone cables knot up with only half a foot of slack...

So I've been looking at this thing...
Looks Spiffy, no? The picture support and FM radio are pretty cool, not to mention the voice recorder. The only problem is the size. Its approximately the same size as my zen xtra. Of course the only way I'll upgrade to a new player is when they start giving them Bluetooth support for headphones, or some other shortrange. Something the size of an ipod would be nice.
So basically all the iriver features, ipod size, Bluetooth support, and a removable li-ion battery. It would also be nice if it gets a lot of 3rd party support.

The closest thing I can find close to market would be the Treo 650. Only problem is that would need a SD card which ups the price but you can get the 1gb for cheap at www.costco.com . $50 cheaper than anybody else for a sandisk SD.
That and the Treo gets a lot of 3rd party support and its a PDA/cellphone. With all that combined it's still pretty light, and it can play Freecell.
