Without a desktop application, I wouldn't even bother. Although it will be interesting to see what applications developers will come up with if given access to integrate with the music store/player. We'll just have to see. That’s exactly right. Without a desktop application, I wouldn’t even bother.

While the gadget will be fun to play with for most of us, it won't be replacing my iPhone.

Given that I have a short term memory, I would otherwise forget about that song that I had heard. Either way its still pretty minuscule, yet a feature I would gladly accept on my iPhone.

I guess it is an advantage to be able to bookmark a song for downloading anytime, instead of having to just store the name and then search for the song later. But that's not exactly a huge advantage. And remember, this limitation is only because the carrier doesn't want to close the $2 and up/song store they operate for their other cell phones, which do permit directly downloading to handsets [so it's not all about the bandwidth...].
