That's comparing the three iPod "flavors" to each other, not this player to the iPod.

I'm digging the look of this DAP, tho I wish the remote was a bit more streamlined.
wow! that's a nice looking player!
i don't dig the remote either. it's too big. they should've slapped that LCD on the actual unit and used a smaller one for the remote; kinda like the Sony MD remotes.

well, i hope other manufacturers make small/skinny players now. the current selection of HDD players are like bricks. the Apple ipod, the Toshiba Gigabeat, and this i-Audio seem to be the only ones that are pocket sized.

Wow. Is that out now? I wonder if it's available with an all-english (or engrish) interface...?

I should ask my bro.

no idea.... It comes with USB cables, so I think it should connect alright to any computer with USB ports,...

HK firm develops cyber girlfriend
By Jannat Jalil
BBC News

The Hong Kong company Artificial Life, which developed the new game, says the girl will appear as an animated figure on the video screen of a mobile phone.

But there is a downside to the virtual girlfriend - she will require more flowers and gifts than many real women.

Artificial Life is hoping to launch the new game later this year, on the latest 3-G mobile phones.

All virtual girls will look the same - but each girl will behave differently - depending on how much money is spent on her.

On top of a general subscription, men will be charged a fee to buy flowers and gifts for the virtual girlfriend.

In return, she will introduce them to different aspects of her life, like letting them meet her female friends - also electronic images.

Cash counts

If players neglect her, she will refuse to speak.

The company says the amount of money players will have to spend has yet to be determined.

But unlike other computer games, it seems that cash, not skill, will enable players to climb the different levels in the game.

The virtual girlfriend is slim and dark-haired, like the Lara Croft character in the game Tomb Raider, which won a huge male following.

The company has plans to introduce a virtual boyfriend for women, although it remains to be seen how it will persuade them to spend extra money on the game.

But it may be encouraged by the success of a Japanese company that recently created a Boyfriend Arm Pillow - for women who miss being hugged by a man at night.

The product is reportedly a big hit with the ladies.

ah! finally, Samsung releases a slim HD MP3 player. i really like the Sony HD player, but the ATRAC3 is a total buzzkill. but this Samsung player has potential. supposedly it supports Ogg Vorbis, but the company website doesn't seem to confirm that. FM tuner, 20 GB, so far so good. i just need to check it out in person and see how exactly small it is.
