Portable MP3 Hardware Sales Up
prostoalex writes "In December of 2002 only 12% of US music downloaders owned a digital music player, while for this year the number has increased to 17%. Jupiter Research expects the sales of the digital music players to double this year, while another research agency notes a remarkable shift towards paying for music. Even the music industry tends to agree that online music stores are a boon and expects the Web sales to really take off in 2004." (And the sales of Ogg-capable hardware are up, too, since there finally is some.)

So you want us to write:
There are some Ogg-capable hardware.
Compared to:
There is some Ogg-capable hardware.
The story is right. The 'is' goes with the ogg-capable hardware, not the sales. Sicne before, there wasn't any ogg-capable hardware. The sentence wasn't saying that there weren't any sales of ogg-hardware.
How do protable MP# players do for recording?
Are there any that are able to record uncompressed files from a mic?
Are any of them equipped with mic jack (as opposed to just line in)?
You sir are a moron. First poster had it right. It's "are"
