This is insanely priced, particularly when you see that it literally loses on everything but battery life compared to the original iPod 5gb, let alone the Classic.

Not quite. It has 1TB sd card storage. That's far, far better. And it has wifi and USB not just FireWire. Ram is less sure but how much ram do you need for playing tunes?

Where did you read 1TB? The webpage says it supports up to 2TB but doesn't say it ships with an SD card.

My bad. 2 TB.

If you have chrome browser JavaScript applet as the media player backend, terabytes.

Aha, I did indeed miss the "external storage" row—mostly because it only uses the "Tb" acronym quite late in the description. I think the difference between Firewire and USB-C is minimal? (ie they are both "fast enough") but I guess having wifi is a step up (although I always still plug my phone in to transfer music at this point so…)
