SoniqCast has been around for a few years releasing what could have been truly innovative products like their Aireo line, which touted wireless features, wireless content, and a built in FM transmitter. The early Aireos never sold because they were already outdated by the time they had a product ready to sell. That is the problem; SoniqCast can’t seem to get their products to the market fast enough or to market at all. They have some great concepts but they have failed to materialize these ideas.

You could probably attest this immaterialization to lack of funding and poor business management. Their poor excuse for a website says it all. I am not even going to give them lip service by rattling off their vaporware features of these yet to be released MP3 players, but please do stop by their site to check out their PaintShop Pro device mockups for a good laugh.

I do hope I am wrong, wireless music services sounds great, but my money is on MusicGremlin for the first truly functional wireless MP3 player.

The SoniqCast AireoII was brought to market late last year under a 3rd party brand. Check out http://www.taolife.com. Teamed with Audible and PassAlong wireless content services, the device delivers.

Yeah they have been "selling" this trough Tao for for nearly a year. I have not seen a place where you can actually buy one. Got any links?

I believe they're currently doing online sales only. Go to http://www.taolife.com, click on 'Shop Taolife' or go directly to: http://shop.taolife.com/.
Click on 'Buy Now' and it's yours.

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

  • Toshiba Gigabeat T400

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    JAYS q-JAYS

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
