40GB RCA Lyra: Apple Fans Needn't Fret

PaulEshoreLives writes "The Globe and Mail isn't taking too kindly to RCA's Lyra 40GB iPod 'competitor.' Amongst its gripes are a crazy-slow FFW. How slow? Like 6 minutes to get to the end of a 60 minute file. Gotta wonder how these things get missed at the beta stage."

  1. 4 dimensional by pwells · · Score: 5, Funny

    According to the article (sorry):
    The 154 gram unit comes in at 8.5-by-13.8-by-7.2 centimetres and 2.5cm thick

    Should we fret about the 4th dimension instead?

    I misread the post, I thought the complaints were about the speed of its FFTW, the Fastest Fourier Transform in the West! I thought the author wanted to criticize the quality of its fourier transform functions.
