Make Ogg Portable

A reader writes: "Taken from a post on http://www.hydrogenaudio.org "I got help from the fine folks over at the Gentoo forum to find you. I have been talking with jazPiper, one of the makers of portable MP3-players, and they was very interested in getting support for Ogg Vorbis. However, they had trouble finding a user base for this product. I will of course point their attention to these forums, but I hope you will help me convincing them by signing the petition, saying support for Ogg Vorbis in a portable device makes it more attractive. So please go here and sign it!" Another petition to sign!"

Without any sort of price range, all they're going to get is people saying "Yeah, I'd like a vorbis player...I'd get one." Few people can make a reasonable judgement without some idea of the cost.

I mean, is this going to cost more than a Zaurus?

I'd probably get one if it was less than $200, but probably wouldn't if it were more than $300. The features certainly play a role -- is this CD-based? Flash-based? HD-based? What kind of interface? Do we get Linux mass storage device support for uploading music?

These are pretty critical.

I can say that I'd be more inclined to buy a vorbis than an mp3 player.
