Ogg Vorbis Portables On The Way

Emmettfish writes "According to this release on Xiph.org, it looks like the Neuros player will support Linux users, and also give them the ability to play back Vorbis files on the move, starting in late May. Go Ogg! Remember, donating a few bucks to Xiph may not make the world a better place, but it'll definitely help it sound a lot better." For those of us craving a portable that plays from cheap CD-Rs rather than flash media or a hard drive, Emmett says by email that an agreement for development of firmware for a CD-based Ogg player is in the works, too.

It wouldn't matter. Only Apple can get the 1.8" drives at the moment, so everything else will be bigger. The iPod just slides under the "too big to pocket" limit. Even something just slightly larger (the Nomad Zen, for example) is too big.
