I want a minidisc player. No, not because I think they are great... but because they are such the underdog in the world of gadgets. I suppose its all Sony's fault... well, I know it is... but really its not a bad medium. With the new 1Gb version it would make a kick-ass replacement for floppy drives. Of course, Sony never made a MD drive for computers - they saw a world of pre-recorded MDs - idiots.
Think about all the sci-fi/futuristic movies that have people sticking small discs around the size of an MD into their cool-ass lighted terminal-thingies... well, at any rate it sucks that Sony screwed the pooch so badly on that one because the form-factor kicks ass.
I'm going to go update my iPod now.
