my dream mp3 player

[johnsonl33]

I own a 3G 20GB ipod, but i am looking for something more. I want it to have 3 things:

1. 40gb capacity or more
2. battery life longer than 8 hours
3. smart playlists / great syncing software (e.g. the ability to tell the player "randomly give me 5 hours worth of songs that are rated 3 stars or better and haven't been played in teh last 2 weeks)

I have found many players that meet 2 of the above requirements, but not all 3.

Ipod has 1 and 3, but not 2. Rio Karma has 2 and 3, but not 1. IRiver has 1 and 2, but not 3 and navigating it stinks. Creative Zen Touch has 2 and 3, but not 1.

Anybody got any ideas?

Here's what I picture being the perfect player:

50 GB of storage
24 Hour Battery Life
Bluetooth enabled Headphones
-but- also have a ziplinq miniplug cord built in for the person who doesn't want Bluetooth Headphones
Wireless syncing
Same size as mini
Comes in orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, gold, silver, white, and black.

20GB+ storage
Karma size, iPod thickness.
Recording.
15 hours+ battery.
Gapless playback.
Useful firmware updates (Karma style)
Colour screen just for asthetics.

I'd buy it in a second, no matter what the cost or who made it.

My Dream mp3 player is:

-half the size of the ipod with a color touch screen
-1TB (terrabyte) of storage
-internet capability

but that won't come out until around the year 2020, so I'll settle for my ipod
