I just saw this posted on CNET. They were comparing it to the iPod. What do you guys think?
http://www.edigital-store.com/treo10.html

It has a bigger hard drive, which is a standard 2.5" notebook drive. The battery only lasts 6 hours before recharging is necessary. Of course, they don't have any pictures of the software interface that I could see so I have no idea what the interface is like. I doubt it's as good as the iPod, but can't say for sure. It plays MP3's and Windows Media. And naturally, it's USB.

I personally think it is butt ugly...and USB must be really slow. I love the speed of the FW connection. But that is just my own opinion. You asked, you got it.

Gee, I wonder if a Mac version will come out? Nah, let the Windoze users keep the ugly thing. Apple has it beaten in spades.

The only downslide to the iPod is that is costs $150 more. But then again, you are getting the nicest digital jukebox (and smallest) out there. And who needs 150 hours of music anyway? If you calculate it, 150 hours is just shy of one week. Who would need that much space anyway? So, forget what I said in the first sentence. I'll pay the extra $150!
