Yikes! This technology is all over the place -- there are different formats, not all of which will play on all players, if I am understanding this correctly - also, my library is getting access to a LENDING LIBRARY of audiobooks, which can NOT be played on certain players (read apple) - Anyway, I'm looking for a device which can play books, podcasts, can get & record radio, & which will also hold photos, AND keep a calendar & contacts. AND I'd like to be able to use it in the car. Too much to ask at this time? Should I wait awhile? Or am I really needing to look at PDAs? And is there a PDA that can do all this yet?
Any suggestions/thoughts?
