My personal guess is that we will never again see a solution that's as easy to get music on as the empeg. I could be wrong about that, though. A neat solution would be a head unit that's a docking station for a portable unit and uses the portable as its storage device. It could also recharge the portable while it's docked and not require the portable in order to play the radio or, potentially, a CD.

But that would require someone developing both simultaneously, and I don't see that happening, unless someone is industrious enough to make it an aftermarket accessory for an already existing portable.

But here I go into wishlists again.
