Well my parents started out with an Ipod. The first generation I think it was. Not at all into audio it was for audio books. At that time I was totally not into portable audio I got my first just a few months ago
. So maybe I can count as mainstream in this area. My reasoning is that they are obviously not bad for audio but bought it more for it´s functionality. Being mainstream means 1000s of nice apps. I didn´t really find any ipod killer either. MS Zune HD or what it was but it´s not even sold over here and will never take of as a gaming platform I suspect.
Thing is a portable setup doesn´t have to have the best display or audio ever... That is much easier achieved by a much more expensive home setup. So functionality wins. Audio is good enough so you can be quite ignorant to whatever better there may be out there anyway.
