I’m sitting outside a café, and it comes out of nowhere: the unmistakable bass line of “Billie Jean.” Desperately needing to hear the rest, I pull out my music player, only to find that somehow my 500 albums don’t include Thriller. Thankfully, the café has free wireless Internet, and my device is a Gremlin, the first Wi-Fi-equipped portable player that can download songs directly from a two-million-song online store. I can instantly fetch the Jacko I’m craving and send it to any connected Gremlin user anywhere. Let’s see your iPod do that.
