Wow... that looks nifty. I wouldn't use it for anything but a music player, but still...

Does seem like it would come in handy for some issues.

All I'd need is a reasonable way to connect it via GRPS or something...

Last view: 6078 days 		I had a similar idea a while ago. You take the hard disk (as you might a CD) from your computer and plug it into someone else's (public computers, most likely). This doesn't seem like a great implementation, being only 4GB. Also the OS needs to be designed to be able to run on any random system like a live CD. It's cool though.

I have a strong feeling that they likely didn't jump the 30 gig hurdle because of price.

THE iPods/IpOD-knockoffs ARE TAKING OVER!!!
So now there's a Linux media player thingy...? Next Microsoft will jump in saying "OH LOOK WE MADE AN IPOD TOO I MEAN WAIT IT ONLY LOOKS LIKE AN IPOD ITS REALLY ALOT DIFFERENT EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME" or someshit.
Oh well.

And more importantly, I'm fairly certain portable MP3 players existed before iPods.

(I also resent classing that entire market as "iPod-knockoffs".)

So... Essentially, it's like a brain slug for computers? Groovy, I think. Could see it coming in handy, but I'll probably not get one because I can't see it coming in handy for me in particular.

The Rio comes to mind, and it seems that the MPMan was the first.

(I also resent classing that entire market as "iPod-knockoffs".) - Wasn't the iPod first? (as in, the first one to work like that) If not then oops oh well

No, you're not alone. That's exactly what I thought. And for me, so far that's the only thing about this that caught my interest.

Nope. At first I thought it was Wizpig too, but then I saw the "y"
