    I get 8-12 hours of playback, depending on sound level, from a single AAA battery. Meaning the battery is interchangeable
    Yeah, this is a big advantage which the Samsungs and the iPods don't have. If the built-in battery deteriorates, it's not really user-serviceable and you either have to a) pay Apple SIXTY bucks or b) buy a new device...

    I mean just the catchy name is gonna sell it to me but then I read the marketing.

    Yeah, the name is really, really bizarre. Why the flying rhino they couldn't come up with at least SOME sort of a name is completely and utterly beyond me. However, with the product itself nothing really seems wrong.

    [The next generation iPod] could play ogg. Let's start with that.
    To show your support for the format, don't buy an iPod but instead look out for the Samsung YP-U1. Lots of nice features, costing a third of the iPod nano.

    Hardly any automated testing [...]

    I understand that if you're creating mostly screens where people enter data. For other code, unit testing in Perl is dead simple. Create a subdirectory "tests" and create the test files in there. It's customary that they end with the extension ".t". The test could look like the following:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

    use Test::More tests => 2; # Increase the number of tests here

    use_ok('mymodule'); # The module we're going to test, can it be used?
    ok(1 == 1, "Test OK"); # 1st parameter is expression to be tested, 2nd is the message

    Since the .t isn't recognized by vim as Perl code, create a subdirectory ~/.vim/ftdetect with a file called perltest.vim. Put the following line in this file:

    au BufRead,BufNewFile *.t set ft=perl

    Well, the different distro's each have a different focus. I don't really mind. On the other hand, for an independent software vendor this can be hell. Can this be fixed with a library? I doubt it... And as for agreeing on a standard: we have the LSB however, there's lots of stuff that's not covered (packaging). It's a problem.
