Hi all But one interesting question: I thought that the sound quality of smart phones and Windows Pocket devices was not as good as that of genuine mp3 players? If you connect a set of high quality headphones to both types, would you hear the difference?

Some prefer to listen to their music on their phone, while others prefer to walk around and look stylish with their iPods. I don't Think any one choice is any better than the other, it's all in what the individual person likes. I'm glad apple have finally got themselves in a better place with accessibility, it's about damn time they did it on the hardware, and windows side of things. The Mac users had it for a while so it's nice to see the Windows side of things getting a peace of the action. At 05:56 PM 9/10/2008, you wrote: >Saqib, I completely agree with you.
