iRiver claimed that their players would include support for new codecs via a firmware upgrade (Ogg Vorbis was mentioned in particular). There have been several firmware upgrades, but no Vorbis support yet.
Which is a shame, because iRiver make the sexiest MP3 portables IMHO.
Right on. Go is perfect for us nerds: by remembering only a few simple rules you can regenerate the whole game from first principles, so you don't have to remember a whole lot of useless crap, and you can fill your brain with more interesting stuff like how exactly *are* you supposed to use thread cancellation in POSIX threads?
That's what finally swung it for me: on FreeBSD you can guarantee that random command "foo" that you found in/usr/sbin has a man page.
On Linux, you've got roughly a 50/50 chance if you installed a decent distribution. Failing that, there might be a HOWTO. Or maybe some dude with a web page he knocked up one afternoon to tell you what the flags mean.
It's maybe a small thing, but it makes the world of difference.
