The FireWire contoller appears to be TIs TSB43AA82, the chip is PortalPlayers PP5002B w/ an ARM7TDMI-based core. Apparently it has encoding abilities as well. The hard-drive is Toshiba's MK5002MAL."

    Yea, because people are FORCED to upgrade everytime a patch is allowed.

    And I'm sure apple will be very sad if you crush the mp3 player that YOU PAYED FOR.
