I use my Palm Zire 71 with Pocket Tunes for playing OGG. Do you really
need that much memory? I use a 256MB SD-Card and get about 6 full
albums
on it.
For me that is not an option - since I do not drive, charging something is difficult - so having a palm turned on and playing is not a good idea, as it may then not have battery when I need it. Also - since I ride a bike, having a player I can easily secure to my belt is the best way to go - etc.
So for me to go with ogg, I would need a player like a mini that has protective cases available that easily SOLIDLY clip to a belt, and probably 256 MB is not big enough, though the nice thing about cards is you carry a few extras if you get bored with one.
Using ogg sounds nice - but it just really is more difficult because it does not have the market penetration in devices that mp3 has. There's a time for being idealistic, and there's a time for using what works in the present.
