Posted by timothy on from the audio-jack-knife dept.

Along with the release comes a message regarding Open Source from Joe Born, President of Neuros Audio, LLC, asking the community of developers to help fully realize the vision of the digital audio computer by aiding in the process to create a GCC target to the TI DSP used in the Neuros and in developing a program loader."

    They'll also be releasing hardware documentation soon...

    This is really a great company that truly does listen to its customers. This wouldn't have happened if they didn't.

    European radio (even frequency) support is coming soon, too! :)

  2. 80 Gig? Cool by bentfork · · Score: 4, Informative
    Looks like they have even bigger HD's than the ipod, and a build in FM transmitter! ( specs for the usb2 8 gig here )

    some neat stuff:
    Playtime: 10 hours when fully charged
    Frequency response: 20 to 20,000Hz

    FM Broadcasting:
    Transmission Strength: 250 microV/M-2 at 3m
    Maximum range: 20 feet

    and it can record audio as MP3 or wav.
    All for a sane price of $449.99

    Hopefully this will be lower by the winter gift giving season ( or summer, if you stand upsidedown).

    I love mine, I use it frequently as both a USB HD, pocket FM radio/MP3 player (ok I got big pockets), and car jukebox. The recent gain boost for the radio broadcast feature has brought life back to my almost unuseable MiFi feature (FM broadcast) now I can broadcast my mp3s and oggs over a weak signal in the full city FM-dial.

    The developers truly do listen to the owners. Due to consumer request there are plans in the works for radio like-tivo support in the firmware. Things like that are over the heads of the big-boys, and probably would kill a major player with big name.

    Here's to the indi-linux makers.
