Anonymous said...: this doesnt have any advantage over the gigabeat S or anyother mp3 player other than the fact that it has better battery life. The screen is bigger but it still has the 320 x 240 resolution. Since the US does not have a mobile TV network, the TV function is basically useless. It still does not support divx or xvid or mpeg3.; Fri Sep 01, 05:24:00 PM 2006

The 30gb is due in two weeks at HidefLifestyle.com. Price seems sweet too.
