Question Sony NW-HD5: Going to kill off the ipod?

Sony Article
Some decent pics

Features:
First and formost:

FULL MP3 compatibility

Here goes:

-40 hours battery life compared to apples measly 16
-REMOVABLE BATTERY (better than apples internal that dies after 18 months)
-SMALLER, and lighter (Size comparison photo)
-FULL MP3 compatibility
-Horizontal and Vertical use of the unit
-6 Band equalizer, fully customizable (No Apple presets)
-20gb capacity

There is also a 30GB limited edition version available in black

Sounds like a winner to me although it does have to get some serious advertising space to knock ipod off the top spot.
