Why don't they just make a PDA and then it will be able to do everything? Honestly I don't understand this whole picture viewing thing on an audio player. If you want such frills, there are devices that do that. What I would like to see instead of the hard drive option is cheap, large solid state RAM. I heard that such a thing is being worked on and when that happens, hard drives will be a thing of the past. Then the Neuros could be small and use much less power. I don't know whether or not that is in a time frame of until they come out with the Neuros III, but it's possible.

Once this RAM you speak of becomes a reality, then all players will probably switch to it.  In the meantime, they have to work with the small HD sizes available to them.

These design pictures are great, k-mouse!  However I've heard that the Neuros III will ditch the backpack design and go for a 1-piece unit like the I-pod.  I'm wondering if maybe a compromise could be made and they use the detachable HD idea.

I just got my USB 2.0 upgrade back from DI.  Although I don't have USB 2.0 capability on this computer (yet), I've started loading up my songs again using the new USB 2.0 slot on the Neuros.  And strangely enough, it seems to be going slightly faster than before.  I filled up 9 to 10 MB of it in about 2 and 1/2 hours to 3 hours using NDBM.  At that rate, I could fill the entire thing up in about 6 hours, which I think is faster than I was getting before.  It's not comparable to USB 2.0 speeds, but still pleasant surprise.  [8D]
