    ok

    this is a small lightweight device with usb transfer, and is the sort of thing no doubt compelling Apple to, if true, bring out a flash-based iPod.

    Design

    LOL. I started laughing pretty hard when I saw that thing. Is that not one of the ugliest mp3 players you've ever seen? I don't know, just the whole color and button scheme make me laugh.

    ya it's ugly, but...

    ...check out its little brother "The Cruzer MP3 Companion". A flash drive MP3 player done right. If I was the least bit athletic I might be interested.

    No, it's not...

    One of the ugliest players I've seen, and in fact, is not bad.
    I own five iPods, but I'm not such a Steve-nutsucker that I can't see other hardware/software as being good - get over it.

    again??

    why is it that every time a mac user post a negative comment about a random product not made by apple, some moron assume that the poster is a "zealot" and hate everything made by the competition..

    Seriously, this device looks like it comes from the last decade..

    well....

    it's USB2.0 so it's about the same speed (give or take) as a firewire iPod - i like that you can use a regular battery and the price/feature set seems right on the mark. I do think it's kinda ugly - but who cares? I haven't tried anything that matches the OS of my iPod - and the ease with which it integrates with iTunes. Pods should all have color screens, and whoever told Steve they should price the color one at 600.00 is smoking some BAD crack.

    You gotta be kidding?

    So I should pay $200 for a 1 GB flash "iPod-like" player when I can pay $249 for a 4 GB (or soon a 5 GB) iPod mini with elegant software and far more capacity plus iTunes?

    That would be so(ooo) LAME!
