PMP manufacturers should begin announcing new hard disk players with higher capacity. Besides freshening up the iPod video, Apple has pretty much neglected the hard disk market in their new line of iPods. The HD60GD9 Media Keg has 60GB of storage for MP3, WMA, WMA-DRM9, WAV, Kenwood Lossless audio files. But, then, despite having a 2.2-inch QVGA screen this Kenwood player does not support video playback. It is strictly a HDD audio player with 60GB of storage for all the music in which to keep all your music in the world. It’s lacking in form factor as well: 104 x 61 x 17mm and weighing at 140g doesn’t exactly make you scream “I want.” There’s also the matter of bottom line, and at $500 of pocket punching price it’s twice as expensive as the iPod Classic 80GB model.
