USB 1.1?

[jonman_d]

They're still making devices with USB 1.1? Especially for something like an MP3 player, where you're moving large amounts of data, USB 2 is a must. For low-end devices with only 512M of storage, you're going to be doing a lot of adding/removing of files, which makes having to constantly wait during every session a hastle; for the larger devices, it's insane to have to wait forever for your collection to transfer over the outdated 1.1 spec.

In a world where modern machines come with USB 2, and it's also backwards compatible with USB 1, there's no excuse to make an mp3 player that only supports USB 1.1.

nice unit

Personally, this form factor (similar to Creative Labs) has some appeal to me. I know everyone says that the HD's in iPods are shock proof and this and that, but for using at the gym or while running, you can't beat this super-mini form factor and solid state construction. Great to see they're offering some value-adds such as ogg support.

and with 512mb you could store ... 2 albums!

It had BETTER be a different person, or they have two left hands...

iPods can double as mirrors as well

Though they don't use OLED technology, the Apple iPod can also double as a "mirror." Its chorme caseback is reflective, with only minimal distortion.

That is, if you can keep it clean and free of scratches. I know some people who have their caseback so badly scratched up that its pretty much lost its reflective properties.
