I'm not aware of any flash drives pushing the 20GB limit yet but cost to storage ratio, I'll stick with my 30 GB Archos that granted ran me almost $200, but it's so much cooler, especially with the DVR adapter. SanDisk however makes some 8GB flash drives for around $100-110 so for $40-50 more you get 4 times the space.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 11:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Creative's Zen Stone and Stone Plus get a micro speaker for mini rockers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/creatives-zen-stone-gets-a-micro-speaker-for-mini-rockers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/creatives-zen-stone-gets-a-micro-speaker-for-mini-rockers/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you go ipod yeah you'll pay through the teeth, but then I avoid ipods]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 8:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Creative's Zen Stone and Stone Plus get a micro speaker for mini rockers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/creatives-zen-stone-gets-a-micro-speaker-for-mini-rockers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/creatives-zen-stone-gets-a-micro-speaker-for-mini-rockers/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is just what we need to replace our aging nano.

I only need 2gb. My entire music library is 1.5gb, but I also have 3.71gb of podcasts and some purchased music and TV shows (I only get the free stuff though), and I really don't care about those, just the stuff in my actual library. Sure beats the pants off my aging 20gb 4th gen U2, who's firmware has already had to be reloaded because of a failing hard drive, and shortening battery life. I bet these things can run for days. If I had one, I would use it more. I barely listen to my music as it is. I just wish the stone had a clip like the shuffle. But then again, macworld is a week away, and I would like to see if a new shuffle with a OLED display and 2gb of storage is released.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iamdigitalman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2008 5:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Creative's Zen Stone and Stone Plus get a micro speaker for mini rockers]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/creatives-zen-stone-gets-a-micro-speaker-for-mini-rockers/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/creatives-zen-stone-gets-a-micro-speaker-for-mini-rockers/</guid><description><![CDATA[I had to drop by and make a comment here. I'm sorry, but can anyone think of a good situation for wanting to listen to crap quality music by holding this little pos up to their ear? What useless tech!

This is just for those who want a simple and easy to use player for listening to music, especially for the young and old ones. The additional speaker is just for the convenience of listening to music without the earphones.
