    I just don't see the point of mp3 players. I'm never further than a meter away from a computer, so I can have music there, sure the quailty may not be the best but what can you do? I can only think of about 3 occaisons where I would be away from a box for longer than a half hour:

    1. The commute to work: Dangerous/I have the radio 2. Exersise: I ride my bicycle from my house to the local park, and I need to cross some streets to get there. Dangerous 3. Geocaching: I like to listen to the nature, not the latest teeny-bopper chart topper :).

    So, while this is a neat project, I just don't see the point of this (and more expensive) mp3 players.

    I apologise for forgetting this is slashdot and posting something with humour in that was not some half arsed m4d l33t catchphrase.
