You just cannot put it in your jeans pocket, it's a shame sony lost the plot with MD and decided on different PC and music formats. If I could have had a MD disk drive in my PC 2 years ago I would not have an iPod now. Also it took them a long time to enhance MD to higher volumes of music on the disk.
The big problem with CD portables IMHO is that they are too big, it feels like you are carrying 12in vinyl around.
iPod is to an extent style over substance, but its the same argument with buying cars of travelling business class a Mercedes or Business class seat get you to the same destination at about the same time, they just do it more stylishly.
