Woohoo, I got one of these little things, and I have to say, awesome! Granted flash drive based mp3 players have been around for awhile, but I really like this one.
I went on a bike ride with it and it was perfect. I hated hauling my really heavy iPod compared to this tiny thing, plus when one is doing some kind of excerise or activity they don't care about what song is playing, they just want to hear the music, or move to the next song, or just let it shuffle and goto which every random song is next. Just feel for the little thing that's on a lanyard around your neck and click the next button. I can imagine what this will be like with my Gyro Nine MX helmet, while snowboarding!
No more heavy ipod to unplug itself! while sitting in my pocket!
I also like how it charges through the USB port, which means no batteries or another charger to be worried about hauling around with me. And of course who could seriously not like the fact that you can use it as a usb thumb drive! I also got it working with GtkPod, just like I got it working with my other iPod. It would be nice to port GtkPod to managed code with Mono, it could integrate with
SharpMusique.
