Sony has finally relented and allowed native MP3 playback in their latest MiniDisc players. I'm really looking forward to this. See more details at this Dutch site. The top of the line model sports a gorgeous OLED screen.
I'm a big proponent of MiniDisc and have a little library of MDs already built up. I love recording my own music (live concerts, XM radio etc) and also being able to lend/borrow music from friends - both of which the iPod does not allow. I bought a 40GB iPod last year and its up for sale right now. I also love the quality of sound on the MD and the long battery life. MD had a 10 year head start on the iPod and would've been the format of choice if Sony hadn't crippled the technology so much. I hope it doesn't die out!
Update: Apparently, the original information has been taken offline. Here are some links from minidisc.org
