  1. Fast-forward? by Matt+Perry · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone have one of these things? If so, can you fast forward through a song or only go to the beginning of a song? I'd like to get one of these but I listen to a lot of hour long (or more) DJ mixes so not being able to seek to a specific point in the song would suck.

  2. CPU and Memory by macmurph · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Dear Apple Matters. I think people want to see what the processor and memory are of your broken iPod. Could you please update your web site with photos of those components?

    PS. Macro mode on a digital camera could substantially improve the image quality.

  3. What? No circuits? by mnmn · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I was expecting to see ICs, what MCU is used, the type of amplifiers and how the capacitors are arranged. Maybe they have a custom IC. Maybe they used a transistor for an amplifier, or no amplification at all. Maybe its a 4-bit MCU + MP3 decoder, or maybe its a 16-bit.

    Slashdot demands more.

  4. RAM by Linuxathome · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Poster shows the battery, but what about the RAM? Where's the 512MB/1GB that these things are supposed to hold---that's the more interesting aspects of this device.
