I've got a Creative Zen Touch 20gb player, and i've had it for 2 years, and have yet to see a decent firmware upgrade which adds proper functionality. Yes, there has been firmware updates (unlike the iPod), but they're rubbish. The last firmware added the "playsforsure" feature, but I'm not interested in that, I want features damnit! As mentioned, I want to add bookmarks / split music (i listen to a lot of DJ Mixes, 1 track, 90mins long!). I want to be able to remove the rubbish from my Mp3 player every once in a while without hooking it upto my PC, and running through the less-than-speedy Creative Software. Oh why wont the manufacturer's listen to what the users want?! They're all too interested in turning out new products every 6 months or so!

The rest of the features seem to be non-music related. I am not sure why deleting files on the go is so essential, although I guess sometimes you end up with a crappy song that you might forget to remove later. However, none of these features are going to cause Apple to lose a huge portion of the population as you suggest. In fact, you haven't even left the iPod fold.

It's incredibly frustrating that apple can't understand the need for some of these improvements. The saving grace for me has been installing Rockbox on my 30gb 5.5 ipod. Rockbox is an open source, collaborative effort that has developed firmware alternatives for several mp3 player platforms. It's definitely in the geek zone and it has it's flaws but it has a ton of great features and it's a lot of fun: http://www.rockbox.org/. And yes, it has a dual boot feature so once you've installed Rockbox, you can still boot to the apple firmware. Good points all around.
