The T-Mo MDA version may be uglier, but it's keyboard is infinitely more usable. Who thought no space between KB buttons would be a good idea? I'm getting an MDA as soon as it comes out!

#1, did you even read the article? The government is subsidising converters that will allow people with analog TVs to view digital content.

And before someone jumps on how much of a waste of money it is, the sale of the analog spectrum will more than pay for it.

Now, just how well the government will handle this changeover and the converter program is up for debate...

Nick,

WM5 AKU2 is definitely more desirable for business users, true push email is a MUST for me.

Also, is everyone sure they're killing off the slot or just removing SDIO functionality (ie, memory cards will still work, but not network cards, etc)? I can't tell from the post. I'd prefer that it took SD as I have a couple 1 gig cards, but its not a dealbreaker for me, with edge, I could just stream whatever I want to watch/listen to through Orb. I have my Gigabeat for real music listening for now.

I will buy this.

Shure will happily replace your buds under warranty, even if you break them yourself. They're awesome about replacements. The cables on my E2c and E3c's are much thicker than any other "$30 disposable buds" I've used before.

I wish that the PTH was an amp as well, if I'm carrying one more thing, it might as well serve more than one purpose.

Huh. Just took his Millenium design for NYC manhole covers and slapped it on a drive enclosure.

Nice way to make a quick buck, I guess.

I agree with #8, ouchie.

Damn this looks so sweet. I just dropped 4 benjamins into my savings account for a 60gb one of these badboys next month...my favorite part...same form factor as the 30gb. Sexy.

Anybody want to buy a gently used black GB F20 next month?

Nice try, "I dont think so." These devices have live reception functionality, like the current XM2Go players. You're thinking of the Nexus.

Looks like Apple fanboyism trumps common sense and reading skills.

sheesh, I always thought Engadget wasn't that bad. Have you guys been to Gizmodo lately? They can throw an iPod comparison into a blurb about the latest toaster. It's almost unbearable.
