Flash players will be 16GB soon. Why do you want moving parts and fragile construction?

That's the most interesting claim I've heard. :p Ya, sure, it'll be 16GB soon.. maybe in 3-4 years? (Yes, I am serious) If you say 3-4 years is soon, sure, wait for it. But I'd buy MP3P today and enjoy from today, rather than waiting years to enjoy some music.

I heard that flash DAP vendors are getting 16GB flash memory today. So, considering life cycle to production about an year, we can expect such players much faster. Anyway, I doubt that you get equal size HD much faster. Anyway, if you are working for a flash memory company, then you can provide more real estimates. Let's talk in January next year.

I saw the DAH-1500 sold under a different name in Japan by one of their major pc chain store during my business trip a couple of weeks ago. It was called the OZZIO musica CUBE . I thought about buying one, however, due to the different frequency range used for FM radio in Japan I did not buy one. I did order one from Walmart.com. Anyone receive of these yet?!:)

Looks like it would hurt or be noticeable in your pocket, unlike the other thinner but longer/wider players. That would be my only concern. Well, that and I want no less than 40 gigs so I never have to transfer files onto it after the first time. LOL :D

Here are some must-have accessories. ;)

I would so get one of those if I could!!

I have a pink 1500i... I love it. The sound is good, the size is great and the battery life is good. I wonder if they will (or can) add AAC support in a later firmware release. That would be awesome.

The only big drawback I've run into is the fm radio... it sucks. It's completely unusable for me. Signals that come in crystal clear on every other radio I own will not come it at ALL on the mobiblu. Here's hoping maybe firmware can fix that too (doubt it).

Just got mine... all I can say is that its pretty freak'n small.

Feels pretty solid... decent quality, but its hard to get over the fact of paying $145 for something the size of a quarter.

Looks interesting. Anyone know if they solved the non-alphabetical playback problem that people were complaining about?

I've been debating getting one of these for the past few weeks. I have a 20gb 3rd gen iPod, but I'm sick of it, and want something that plays WMAs and isn't Apple...

iRiver (h120, 320, or h10) or iaudio (x5)... better quality and still has the capacity you have now
