The main difference between the two seems to be the batteries—the 5 takes AAA cells, while the G3 uses a AA. Neither look terribly stimulating, but should be otherwise solid players as iAudio bits seem to be, on the whole. You can except the G3 Real Soon Now, while the 5 is rumored to come out in November. Now the iAudio M5... this is something. It looks a lot like an M3 with a color screen humped onto the front of it. Perhaps a little awkwardly shaped, but if it is the same height and length as the M3 it will still be really small. And by moving the controls back onto the unit instead of the remote they're probably both easier to use and more appealing to the average buyer.</i>"<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/iAUDIOphilenet_small.jpg" /> <br /><br />Now we are talking! I have to admit, the iAudio M5 looks very impressive. This is what Apple <b><i>should</b></i> be making now.
