QUOTE( engadget) 1. Toshiba Gigabeat S Series The one gadget that grabbed everyone at Engadget's attention right at the beginning of the show was Toshiba's new Gigabeat S Series Portable Media Center. Portable video players are a dime-a-dozen these days, but the new Gigabeat looks like it'll have the skills to take on the iPod: a sleek, thin, light brushed aluminum casing, a crisp, bright QVGA display, and -- and here's the really important part -- it offers full integration with Vongo, that new online video download subscription service from Starz that'll let you download as many movies as you want from their catalog and watch them on your portable device. http://ces.engadget.com/2006/01/05/toshiba...-inch-qvga-lcd/ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/media/gigabeat.mspx QUOTE( microsoft spec site thing) Just announced!

Listen to music and download album art from online music providers. Tune into your favorite FM radio station with the unique FM tuner feature. Create impressive photo shows set to music, or enjoy interactive gaming with integrated audio for Microsoft Xbox 360™. Available Spring 2006.

I was telling a few guys at work about this awesome player, pity they wouldn't believe me. They keep going IPOD! IPOD! IPOD! I think I might consider giving up my H10 for this neat little device. One thing I don't see though is the voice recorder which may come in handy for me.
and for $299, that would be a better deal than the 5th Generation iPod, since you get a few extra features, and a smaller player. This is a really nice looking player as well... Two Thumbs Up! |

Wow. That's so.. shiny!
I think Apple trains its employees to brainwash poor children into believeing "IPOD IS GOD" I can hear them chanting it in their secret mountainside hideaway. |

As soon as I get this neat little device, my H10 will retire into Eddie's Wall of MP3 Players.

Anyone have pics of the Piano Black 60 gig one ? Im interested in this, but my mind has been set on the u10 for so long. But although the iRiver has better features IMO, the toshiba kills the iRiver with its storage capacity.

QUOTE(sadolakced acid @ Jan 17 2006, 4:44 PM) theoretically, it can play anything windows media player can play ( i think. i think it plays a certain few, and windows media converts the rest to one of those) mmm. a kid at my school got a 239. there was a freshman at mine who only missed one math question a sophomore who missed two and obviously i mean none of the others i don't know how my class did, but most people i talked to had over 210 meanwhile, i'm retarded and got a 192, which was actually a significant improvement I WANT MY STANDARDIZED TESTING SKILLS BACK, DAMMIT |
