Some MP3 players *are* solid state. Alas, the ones that are and allow removable memory don't take CF cards, which is what I have for my camera and a few other things.
The one I was referring to is a creative Nomad MuVo. Which is a combo MP3 player *and* "thumb drive". No displayjust an LED and a few buttons. Which is why it's sequential.
A friend gave me her 64 meg unit after she got an Ipod.
CF = Compact Flash. Microdrives will work on the same connector but tend to be thicker.
Then there are SD, SM, MM and a bunch of others I don't recall.
A whole bunch ion the last couple of years, we've gone from 6-in-1 readers to 12-in-1.
My Nomad has two parts. The thumb drive which is the same size & shape as most, and has six buttons, a Red/green LKED and an earphone jack, and a sort of "holder" it snaps into that has a AAA battery for powering it when used as an MP3 player.
Dunno about that as there are few reasons to include such functionality. But there are a few handheld computers that include a cell phone.
More common is a USB or serial cable that plugs into the phone and into your computer. With software that either comes with the cable or is downloadable, you can copy your addrerss book to the computer and edit it there. Some extra cost software will do things like let you update appointments on the phone.
And, of course, the cables let you use the phone as a modem.
