<p>That’s why I’m taking a decent, hard-earned look at the PMP4330 that Coby had on display at CES. Its stats are nothing outstanding or news-making, but therein lies its elegance.</p>
<p>The 30GB HD is not the largest we’ve seen in PMPs, the 4.3-inch screen is not the largest, either. But we’re willing to bet the FM tuner-having, SD card-reading, OS X-supporting unit will cost less than $200 when it arrives later this year, and that’s the pricepoint a full-featured PMP really needs to hit to be accepted among the non-geeks of America.</p>

Isn’t COBY the Sprawl-mart house brand? The “What You Find in the Back of 73 Dodge Pickups” brand? I think your estimation about acceptance by non-geeks is very correct, maybe not only because of the pricepoint thing, but also because of the mass-retailing mega-store aspect.
Pretty soon, you’ll have packs big-ass trash-rats zombiee-ing through the malls watching TV *and* talking on the phone. I’m tellin ya, some technology needs to be licensed behind an education test for ownership.
I’d rewrite your headline: Some say “MEH”, I say “Yeeee HAWW!”
Coby has the highest return rate in the electronics industry, displacing Lloyds and GPX. I have seen the PMP4330 and it is a piece of crap just like everything else they make. Are they paying you to say this or are you just an idiot?
