Another iPod Competitor

Posted by timothy on from the looks-worthy dept.

rael9real writes "NOMAD has intoduced a new player. It has USB 2 and FireWire (finally), and supports WMA and MP3. It has a 20GB drive like the high-end iPod, and supposedly holds more music because it supports WMA (though why someone would want to use WMA is beyond me). It *is* cheaper than the iPod, though. Looks like a definite competitor. Maybe it'll drive iPod pricing down." Update: 10/14 21:21 GMT by T : Note that the listed specs for the player mention only "USB," not USB 2.

    No!!!

    Slashdot is stopping me from becoming ill, since an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

    Therefore, if I don't read Slashdot every day, I will be ill, and have to go to hospital.

    Thanks, Slashdot!
