Nice and affordable product : the perfect gift to offer me ;-) -------------------- Soif, MacMusic Webmaster 440Software, our new audio software directory _____________________________________ 440Software, notre nouveau site sur les logiciels audio pour Mac, PC et iPhone/iPad

It would be a serious bummer if you had to install drivers on the computer where you want to access your files. If I could use it hassle free as key memory, on whatever class compliant OS, I´d buy one at once. Anyone knows?

Very well thought out thingy nice, cool and entry level enough, nobody can say "I can"t afford it at all" and it'll stand out in any MP3 player display in shops. you can have a bit of iPod for a fraction of the price, why not? If you look at players displays in shops, you understand right away. Steve said us in the eyes (between the lines) "we want 80-90% of the mp3 player market, point." we have to remind him too we need computers, like new powerbooks -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home BOING BUMM TSCHAK PENG!
