I had a play with the PJB100 (and a chat to the techies) at Comdex today and it is cute... but for in-car use it's not really a patch on the empeg. The categorisations are simpler, the interface is (imho) a bit clunky and you loose out on all the extra features of the empeg like 4 channel outs, tuner, parametric eq, database search, storage capacity, VBR support (PJB doesn't do VBR at all at the moment, though they hope to fix this in the future) etc.

On the other hand, the empeg isn't a walkman. You'd look silly carrying it around with a 12v lead-acid battery ;)

If I was seriously in the market for a MP3 walkman, it's the only one I'd consider. But I'd have to be pretty serious to spend $800 on such a losable box! (They had 2 stolen from their booth during the show...)
