Not being able to use Vongo is fine because Vongo, after signing up to check it out, sucks.

The restrictions are lame, the selection is not that great and over half the time the movies I really wanted to watch were PPV only.]]>Apr 10th 2006 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/Apr 10th 2006 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/Apr 10th 2006 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/

Also, does this use a standard USB cable? I am turned off by a proprietary cable, which would be a deal killer for me.]]>Apr 10th 2006 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/
I'm just hoping that for the US launch we get some of those things back for the 30gb model. I would like it if the 30 and 60gb models were the same size like they promised at CES.

Would this be worth getting or would it be better to wait?]]>Apr 10th 2006 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/Apr 10th 2006 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/
The USB host work using the regular USB Type mini-B connector at the bottom of the device. To plug a camera (or a card reader) to the device and fetch the pictures directly from the camere to the device you need to use a type-A to type-mini-B converter/dongle.

The buttons are plastic (okay some of them are - the ones on the side are metal). The case is metal except for the top-side with the screen which is plastic.]]>Apr 11th 2006 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/
NOW you say 12 HOURS AUDIO-2.5 HOURS VIDEO.

I'm rootin' for Gigabeat all the way! So.... I can't wait.
To #15, I say: When you get the Gigabeat, can you post if it's full backwards compatible with English programs when you change the language? Can I use it here in Canada without tech issues??]]>May 15th 2006 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/10/toshiba-gigabeat-s-shipping-this-month-in-japan/Aug 24th 2006 10:17PM
