I think that it's because media players, RA, etc. are just not there
yet in terms of ease of use (like Garanimals that keep my shirt and
pants matching for the office).  The technology may be a snap for the
facile techos (all the other descriptors are taken).

My sister and I just spent a bunch of time exploring Palm Pilots vs.
Window CE products.  Call me crazy, but, I envision a day that the
devices will match with cellphones and cyber audio will be portable.
Uncle Mel will likely hop on the bus by then.
