Dottz, I’m not an audio engineer and I can clearly hear a little hum our of an iPod that’s not present in my 3-year-old Rio.
I’m a true believer—I’ve had a Mac since 1986 and a 1G, 2G, and now a 3G iPod. And I’ve noticed a trend with the iPod - it’s dumbing down and Apple seem to be reducing the quality.
The new case scratches easier, the headphones are cheaper, and new battery life is terrible and much less than my older 2G, and after several years I’ve watched other players get all these things you say are not “essentials” but the difference is they get them in the package price, for free, no add-ons required. Seriously, think of the “progress” in iPods over the past couple of years and I see useless case redesigns—that’s like the way Microsoft change the look of WIndows every few years without fixing what’s really wrong with it.
Apple is a great company and I want to know how if some crappy company like Creative can put all this stuff into its players why can’t Apple? Instead while other players are getting cheaper, the iPods remain fixed at a high price with less hardware. To me that’s not a sign of quality or progress but simply price gouging. Apple has moved from a company that innovates with hardware to a company that just markets like crazy.
Steve Jobs has reduced Apple’s R&D spending by nearly 50% over the past three years and it really shows. Our beloved iPod is falling behind and unless we make a stink about it instead of being blindly optimistic then we will be shuffled into the dustbin of history.

Belkin just posted FAQs on the Voice Recorder site. Maybe this helps to get people to understand the specs a little better:
