Regarding Isamu Sanada's iPod Micro mockup, Mike Scherer writes:
"I'm a product designer and decided to take a crack at what Apple would logically make.
the current iPod Mini screen and clickwheel are as small as can actually be used (read and fingered)
a major reason current flash players suck is that the memory is built-in--we all know that usefully huge capacity flash cards will have reasonable prices soon

it will use a current iPod Mini sized screen and clickwheel
it will be smaller than a credit card, under a 1/4" thick and weigh 2 ounces
it will use SD memory, a 128M card will probably be included, customers will be encouraged to have multiple SD "albums" for different uses (exercise, commute, new music sampling etc.)
it will not plug directly into a computer but will come with a USB SD card reader
and it will look like this:
