Any news on PMP advancements???

Can anyone please post anything on any advancements in the PMP, whether is be firmware upgrades, such as recording facilities for the FM tuner, or for upgrades to the hdd, or new models with more facilities (e.g. greater hdd/ tv recording)

From what I have seen and heard of the PMP100 series if I could improve the PMP then the following would be included:

*Decrease in size of unit. (Archos AV480 managed to get a relatively small size for a large hdd so surely Iriver can)
*Increase in capacity. (80gb+ would be nice)
*Tv recording facilities
*FM recording facilities
*Introduction of games. The pmp looks like a handheld games device so it may as well play games. I guess there is little point in introducing really good games though as the Sony PSP will probably take this side of the market easily.
*TV tuner.
*Mobile phone add on (mobiles seem to keep adding things so why not add this.)
*Maybe some windows compatability to enable, for example, powerpoint slides to be shown and contacts to be synced with outlook.
*Digital camera (5 megapixel+ would be nice)

I started with some relatively easy additions, including a few that could be done via firmware. Then theres some more adventurous additions, such as the digital camera, but it isn't that adventurous when there is already a poor quality PVP that includes this.
