  1. These have been out forever. How is this new? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I don't understand how this is even making news.. Archos and iRiver have had their little multimedia players that work just like this, if not better for well over a year now. They've been sitting on the shelves at Best Buy and every other major store ..

    Come on already.. Whats next, Creative Labs will make a digital camera and it'll be big news because it'll be the first one ever?

    Is Microsoft paying you to whore this device? How about some stories on MythTV or something. Go back to your roots /.

    This is getting tired.

    Does anybody see the appeal of these things other than the geekiness factor?

    The two biggest things people download off the net are MP3s and porn. The iPod lets people bring around their MP3 colections. This thing will let them bring around their porn collections. Not out of the house, but into the bathroom or in bed :P
