Stitch,
<<I actually think , at least for me, the real draw is being able to carry around my musical play list on my laptop.>>
Yeah, I know what you mean but technology doesn't advance in a vacuum.
Your laptop probably has a CD player on board. In, what, a couple of years you will have a rewriteable cd the size of a half dollar that can store an entire week of your choice of music. No doubt, you will have downloaded that music from Amazon.music.com or whatever with a one week or one month or lifetime "license" to listen to it. You could program it for random play, tell it what to play, tell it what artist to play, whatever.
Still, no net gain on your hard drive. On the high end drive at your ISP or Amazon or Sony they will need a Yottabyte. (Not really, I just wanted to use the word "Yottabyte" in a sentence <VBG>).
It's sort of a wierd thin client/fat client type of disagreement,
