Microsoft's Origami
Early photos show Origami in avocado green, and it certainly can't fit into your pocket. If you watch the promo for it, you can see one user trying to listen to MP3s, but then he takes the machine and stuffs it in his backpack, while connected to his headphones.
Reminds me of those massive cellphone clunkers you can see in early '90s films...
With all of the money and massive engineering muscle Microsoft has available and a history of working well with OEMs, we'd be naive to think Apple can continue to dominate the market virtually unopposed, but I hope that Apple can push the bar even further forward just before everyone thinks they've caught up.
Apple has had the nads (technical term) to kill the iPod Mini when it was incredibly hot, just to bring in the Nano. They are taking risks and winning.
Should be interesting.
