Another iPod Competitor

It has a 20GB drive like the high-end iPod, and supposedly holds more music because it supports WMA (though why someone would want to use WMA is beyond me). It *is* cheaper than the iPod, though. Looks like a definite competitor. Maybe it'll drive iPod pricing down."

did'nt have time to read it.... what is WMA format? The great thing about these portable devices with firmware is that people find ways to hack them. Maybe if we can adapt SPDIF to USB (or even take a feed from the Apoggee) we have a portable flac recorder! I guess we'll have to start another hacking challenge! ;)

This is probaly my favorite example of making wone thing do another thing...
