How to outdo Apple's Ipod

Electronic companies like Sony, Sandisk, Creative Labs, Philips, Samsung, Microsoft

all want to sell their Mp3 players. They all attempt to take the market share and business

away from Apple's Ipod

I have looked at the features offered by the competitors

They all want to compete only on price

For example Apple's 4 GB sells for $150

All other companies want to sell it for under $100

For that price they have to offer equal or better features
Unfortunately they don't

What are some features they could offer

1. Easily replaceable re-chargeable batteries
2. The screen resolution similar to or better than Apple's IPOD has 256K
It is importnat to have that high or better resolution to see details of the pictures ( the competitors offer only 64 k) and 320*240
3. A bigger screen (3" or higher) something like ITOUCH
4. Bluetooth connectivity ( yes Samsung's and Insignia's)
5. Inclusion of FM radio ( which most of the others have ) is a good feature
IPOD doesn't have it
6. A good quality buit-in speaker
7. Ability to continue to listen or watch TV while it
is being charged. some of them when you connect to the
the power source they turn off ( Philips)

Some of them don't even offer AC adapter

8. When you connect the Mp3 player to the computer
It should show up as a drive so that other files can be put on it.
using it as a storage device is very useful
9. Ability to synch with outlook or another synchable program to download contacts and simple text documents
10.Hotspot connection with home routers
11. Two speaker outlets on two sides
12. Longer battery life ( Sony offers that)


These are the ways they can compete with Apple's Ipod

Is it a tall order?

I would like to hear comments from other Mp3 owners
