I have a Nokia N8 with 48 GB of space (16 GB built-in, 32 GB micro-SD card). It estimates over 20h of music playback time and I can stream audio to my car over FM transmitter, USB, headphone jack or bluetooth (and I can use the media controls on the car dashboard to control playback in Bluetooth). Oh, and the built-in speaker is pretty decent, too. Not saying that the N8 is the best audiophile solution out there, just giving an idea of the mdeia capabilities of smartphones.
+10 on this. At this point why anyone would want to sync music is beyond me. Granted the smartphone solution does require one to have enough money to afford a decent cell phone plan. But the options out there to stream to your phone are quite large. You've got pogo drives, cloud services, home built solutions, etc. All of these are far more versatile that carrying around an mp3 player. You can hold more music. Some options allow you to stream video and even if you lose your phone the music doesn't go along with it.... just a thought.
