I was pondering MP3 spingboards, and got to wondering...
An MP3 springboard has to have it's own memory, processor and audio-out. So what is the Visor contributing to this? Just a display? Is there some advantage to playing MP3's on a Visor versus a stand-alone device?

Battery.
Connection to the PC.
Plus, the Visor can set more options, like:
Shuffle/Repeat modes
Tone
Jump to any track with a click

No, but there are advantages in form factor.
When MP3 springboards were first released, they were grossly overpriced. The soundsgood is now $149, a bit cheaper than the retail price of comparible standalone MP3 players.

if you have sounds good, you just plug it in and having your Visor and MP3 in one module.
