The G2 and G3 use a AA battery and come as big as 1 GB. The 4 and 5 use a AAA battery and are up to 1 GB. The U3 holds up to 2 GB, but uses a rechargable battery. They already do have a lot of choices out there. Though, as I said, this is the first in the 2 - 20 GB gap. If the price is right, I'd say this could sell well (if they can overcome the iPod hype).
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

They have other models with 1-2 GB of Flash memory. I think even some of them run off normal batteries, too. Check it out:
