BTW I heard about some guy who made a RAID out of zip drives... he just connected a pair of zip drives to his computer and was able to store a single 180 MB file on two disks.
Is it just me, or does it seem incredibly strange that in the title of this article they say "...Versus Just 7,500 Songs in the Most Expensive Apple iPod"
What is this world coming to when an MP3 player is said to hold just 7500 songs...wow...
Unfortunately, the HD upgrades are NOT economical - the 5 GB PC card hard drive is really expensive as it is. Like $300 or something. So that kind of kills the expandability because it's cheaper just to buy a newer, larger MP3 player. But maybe they've come down in price since they first came out.
BTW, it looks ugly in that picture but I don't think it's nearly as bad as it looks because that remote and the headphones are right next to it and they make it look cluttered. Try to look at just the device... it's actually pretty cool.
Hmm. toshiba...that is mighty nice looking, but the 5Gb is not worth it. Maybe if it wass a 30 like the iPod it would compete..
I know Philips has a 15 GB beta version being tested now...looks mighty nice, black, glass, metal...called the HD100.

Widely debunked as urban myth.
