Will the X5 be upgraded or are iAudio just focusing on the touch screen type things now?

Thanks,
Josh

Seriously? I hope not. I just got my X5L a month ago.

 

[Ricardo Dawkins]

Sorry, pal. But the X7 is coming.

From what I understand the first link is a user-created mockup of what they want the unannounced X7 to look like. Second link has nothing mentioning an X7.

I think this has been discussed many times on iAudiophile. No news on a successor.

 

[LFC_SL]

Yep, no news

CeBit has been underwhelming to say the least. All the companies have seemingly given up competing with Apple, save for one or two models from Creative and Sony and others. Not nearly enough competition. They are all concentrating on flash players now

So either, me eprsonally
a) Get the next iPod, hopefully true 6G
b) Wait for prices to drop and get a flash player with storage in double figures

Another reason I treasure my H140 (and really like the X5). There's just no hope out there now for a real replacement

Nope it desn't look like it, tuchscreen, 20-30GB?? It's just sad they keep doing such irritating toys!

maybe wait for the iphone?!?

 

[Icarium]

Meh sounds like the iphone will have pathetic battery life.

Is there a reason why the 5.5gen ipod has the biggest hard drive out there (80gb)? One other reason I chose the X5 was the 60gb capacity. I can understand if there's a possibility of significantly increased flash drive too, but I haven't heard anything new about that quite yet....

we've been waiting for a successor for quite a while. Cowon seems to have shifted their focus to smaller, flash DAP's, rather than HDD players, which seem to be on the way out anyways.
