A Jupiter Research survey reveals some interesting statistics about consumer interest in portable audio players.

According to their survey, 90% have no more than 1000 songs on their computer, while 77% of consumers would be interested in purchasing a portable music player with a 1000 song capacity.

Top features listed of interest to consumers include rechargable battery, small device size and computer connectivity.

Obvious comparisons are made towards Apple's most recent iPod Mini which appears to fit well with these desirable features.
