Treó 10: Another Portable Mass Storage Device

Posted by michael on from the stocking-stuffer dept.

mblase writes: ""The Treó 10 is a lightweight, pocket-sized, digital music jukebox with the capacity to store over 3,000 songs - that's 150 hours of music." It's got twice the hard-drive space of Apple's iPod, but also half the RAM, half the battery life, and uses a much slower USB connection instead of FireWire. However, it's PC-compatible using MusicMatch Jukebox right out of the box, and costs only $250 instead of $400 for the iPod. CNet's article compares the two further."

    But it doesn't have Steve Jobs behind it, jumping up and down.

    The RIAA will probably try and stop it's production since it tends to do that with non-Apple MP3 software.

    You will be overwhelmed by "gadget craze" and forget that carrying an IDE drive around is cheaper. Poverty to follow.

  5. C|Net's on CRACK by cygnus · · Score: 4, Funny
    Both devices have a U.S. trademark and are not the only ones with that honor. Women's shoe brand Nine West also has a trademark on Treo for use "in the field of shoes and of accessories, namely handbags, belts and hosiery," according to the Patent and Trademark Office's Web site.

    There have been other Treos in the past as well. Treo, with a long vowel mark over the "e," as Handspring uses it, was trademarked at one time for use as a pesticide, although that mark is no longer active. And, in the 1960s, Treo was trademarked as the name for "soap impregnated in paper tissues for general household cleaning purposes."

    errr, thanks C|Net. that's what i go to your site to learn about. expired trademarks in the fields of pesticides and women's shoes.

    Steve Jobs doesn't really jump up and down, he more of smirks. Don't get your Steve's confused: http://www.ntk.net/ballmer/mirrors.html

    You left off the part about the lack of the Apple logo which always seems to increase the price of hardware.

    Is this the new unit of storage measurement? Will we soon see 50 megasong drives from Seagate? What if songs start getting longer again?
