    A friend of mine called from 2000 looking for a state of the art mp3 player. Even at 1.5 ounces the shipping is going to be hell.

    This is much better than my $100 CD MP3 player that holds 700MB at a cost of $0.20 per media and has never skipped even while jogging, thanks to loading songs into cache RAM and spinning down! /sarcasm
