Am I getting old? Is my perspective on hardware innovation in the consumer electronics category jaded by money lost to early adopter impulses?

There's a lot of buzz in the blogosphere this week about Creative's Zen Vision PMP. A $400 gadget that displays photos, and video content. It can also be used to play audio files but Creative is pitching it as a photo and video player primarily. Why are people excited about this? Do consumers really want to tote around gigabytes of photos and video content? It isn't small - you'd need a "man purse" to carry it around with you. I don't get it.
