Noooo....each battery lasts 12 hours. Buy more batteries, get more battery life

1 = 12 hours

2 = 24 hours

3 = 36 hours

etc...see the pattern?

What is up with all these companies using vertical touch strips?  I tried out the Zen Micro and it was horrible, I had to keep lifting my finger off and putting it back at the top so I could scroll down some more.

there was a guy at mistic river who said that bestbuy in america is planning to sell these things at 249 like the regular ipod mini price, people never understand that korean prices are inflated with taxes etc so doing a direct conversion in price is rediculous.

if i did a direct conversion of $299 for the 20gb iPod to aussie dollars it is a lot cheaper then the $499 we have to pay without student discount. never just convert prices they will only mislead you. unless you plan on buying it from korea then you will have to pay that much.

now this player is interesting but a 12 hr battery is with 128kbs mp3 and lcd off, which imo sucks. i was hoping for much more when i saw this.. i think i will be holding out to see if iPod can do soemthing decent with the 2nd generation of iPod minis that are meant to be 5gb.

i have been waiting for a decent colour competition cause i want a colour screen but cant affor $500 for the 20gb models i need something under $400 aussie. i have been following this product every day with all the information i can find. if it comes out at the same price as the mini i wont be getting it, not worth it when the H300 series, 4th Gen iPod and the Creative Zen Touch are all just a little more expensive and you get 20gb

IMO iRiver, like iPod with their 4th gen release, have screwed up. and with this model they arent going to make big inroads on iPod, but this is indeed superior to the current iPod.

the screen size is a problem, from the screenshots i've seen so far you just cant fit enough song name in.. its rediculous having that screen song. sure it works well for korean, japanese etc because the artist are 2 or 3 characters and the songs are the same so you get all the information you need on the screen but for those of us listening to english music you are going to have trouble finding your songs if you have a huge list of songs by one artist.

fittingly a song just came on my computer, ploaying through the speakers.. "difficult not to feel a little bit dissappointed" A Perfect Circle - 3 Libras

I agree. I prefer vertical, and the iRiver looks great and I bet it's great to use too!

Hope they do a nice job with the H500 :)

    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....
