Yes, they could do all the things mentioned (plus much, much more) IF . . . money were no object. But money in business is ALWAYS an object. Would you like to pay $200 (or more) for an mp3 player or $60?
And, how much money has SanDisk made off the Clip line, as well as related accessories such as memory?
Sorry, but at the 4th generation of the same line , not much work should be needed at all. Take what was done before, and add improvements and enhancements. At this point, relatively little engineering should be needed–heck, as I’ve said before, have the company’s summer interns do it, good and fun for all.
(And yes, I’d be happy to pay $200 for a great player. My iRiver iHP-140, an early iPod competitor, matched the then iPod price of $500. No reason there can’t be a happy medium, where an iPod Classic still is going for $250.)
