speaking of a mac version-

According to Steve Jobs, early 1999 will introduce a palmtop macintosh 
(similar to a Newton Messagepad, buy WAY meaner!) that will run a 
'skinny' version of MacOS.  If its enough OS to run Vamp, or MacAMP, then 
a portable palmtop mp3 player would be a lil over 6 months away!!!

Dunno if the opening price would make it practical as a pure mp3 player 
tho.. well see I guess
