New Philips eXpanium Will Use 3" CDs

SpunOne writes: "Phillips is gearing up to release their new eXpanium mp3 player. Unlike most players in the past that use proprietary storage technology, Phillips is turning to the use of those cute little 3 inch CDs that have been around forever, but never really used for much. Apparently most existing CD burners can already write to them, and the rest can do so with an adapter. Phillips even has a beta test available if you're interested in giving it a try." If you should get into the beta group (50 people), why not write up a report for us on this little device? If it only played .ogg files, I would try to pre-order from somewhere.

Wonder if anybody else did this

That answered "female" for Gender. (I'm male, and no I'm not trying to be funny)

But the way I see it, is that they're probably trying a wide range of people, and given the fact that there aren't nearly as many females as males, i gure I have a better chance at getting selected as a female.

Parts of speech and certain computer and gadget connectors - these have genders.

Humans, animals, flowers - we organisms have sexes.

Only members of sexually repressed societies are ashamed to use the word "sex" to refer to the maleness or femaleness of people. "Gender" in this context is a wholly American politically-correct corruption of the language.
