not bad looking.

[Swimmer 3]

a little big.. looks like it is the size of a 4 by 6 note card..  but i like the overall look.. I think someone else tried a product like this.. it looked almost the exact same.

I think it has great potential... maybe they will put windows mobile on it! 

that would be cool!

[Swimmer 3]

there is the offical product.. Asus was the other company who has one of these out..  Looks like they are the hardware vendor..

ya that thing is quite big to be compared to an ipod.. i think the only reason why apple was allowed to corner the market for so long was because of the size factor. There are plenty of other products out there that provide all the same stuff an ipod will do + tons more for the same price but there a little bigger

unless u got some big pockets idk how it would be portable for a normal person.. perhaps business people would use it

[Swimmer 3]

If it is going to run windows mobile.. then i should be able to do wifi and have a bunch of other features that the iPod doesnt have.. we will see.

Looks more like a tablet pc to me.

I lay no loyalty to apple, but i seriouly doubt M$ will have the ablity to knock the ipod off it's mountain top. IPOD is a household name across america, and many other countries these days. M$ did good with xbox/xbox360, but i don't see them being any threat to the ipod. Only time will tell though. 

[FaT_PHiL 1]

ya nothing can ever threaten apples hold on the portable music market. The only way any competitor can compete is to offer more space/features for lower the price, which i doubt any company is willing to do.

I remember back when ipod first launched for like 400$ it was just the normal music playing one that stored 40gigs. My friend came to school after winter break with a Creative pocket pc. It looks just like a tablet pc except its more thick .. (original gameboy thick) and it cost 400$ but it offered the same amount of space and it was able to playback video.

Its to late for anyone to catch up with the ipod craze even if there are better and cheaper substitutes nothing can stop it

ITS AN IPOD EPIDEMIC!!!.. im not infected.. i got a PSP !
