Well, only available with USB 1.1 ... so slow. Just try transfering 700 Mb of data with some USB 1.1 connection. Now imagine 10 or 20 Gb !!! It will take forever. Non merci, I'll stay with my Ipod for now. ]]>

That's no big deal -- just let it run overnight! :-) Anyway, once it's there, it's there. But I imagine they will probably have a USB 2 version available eventually.]]>

A USB 2 'backpack' is pencilled in for release this summer, says the suits.]]>

I still think I'd have to give it to the ipod on looks. Features the Neuros wins. Design iPod, hands down. Navigation iPod, the Neuros has little buttons that require you to look at the blasted thing. USB2... in the future... Firewire now.

Price...

...and I just bought myself a Jukebox Zen yesterday. Ah well.

Yeah, I would have preferred an iPod (smaller, better interface, and just so darn sexy), but it's hard to argue with 20Gb for the same price as a 5Gb iPod.

I'll believe vorbis support when I see it. Lots of companies have 'promised' the support, and none have been able to deliver. I wouldn't list that as a 'feature' until they produce it. Vorbis support on handhelds has been a whole lot of vaporware so far.

Also, usb 1.1 is no good! The integrated FM broadcaster is a clever feature though! I've got a little broadcaster that i connect to my players, but its just an extra dangly thing that needs batteries, and it would be nice to trade it in.

Give this thing real vorbis support, and firewire/usb 2.0, and then i'd be really into the idea. :)

I am really considering one of these. Hmmm, Fathers day is coming up. Even with USB1.1, they are offering a free upgrade to 2.0 when it is released.

I agree abt waiting for ogg support. If they cant producr that, there not much standout from the Odyssey, Archos, etc.

I wouldn't worry about vorbis support so much, as xiph is working in joint with neuros to make it happen.]]>
