How about a Fuze+?

“Looks like your wish will come true soon!”

Huh??? it isn’t powered by a AA battery. It doesn’t have 40+ hours of battery life. It doesn’t have a full sized SDXC card slot. From what I have seen so far, the only thing on my wish list that it does have is that they got rid of the proprietary connector(and even this they did by using a micro usb connector rather than the much more common and much more desirable mini usb connector). The player also seems to use a touchpad. Touchpad players are generally disliked as they are hard to use on the go, and very hard to control while a player is in a pocket. Some people like touchscreen players though, especially if there are some tactile buttons as well for the basic functions. A touchscreen can add many extra functions. Touchpads really don’t have any advantages over tactile buttons, only disadvantages.
