FlashTrax Digital Multimedia Storage and Player

There's a lot to like here. It's not intended to replace anyone's PIM abilities, but as a media manager, it's pretty cool. Things I like: 3.5" LCD Hard drive (80GB!, WOW!) Plays music, videos, reads .TXT files (eBook reader?), displays different photo formats USB 2.0 Swappable battery Software upgradable Video-out capability Adequate user-interface Remote (!) Things I didn't like: Compact Flash (and Microdrives) only, no SD card support without media adapter Kinda bulky looking (but since it's not intended as a PDA replacement, but rather a DVD player replacement, it's actually OK) The implied geekiness involved with actually getting your money's worth in this product and ripping your DVD's to load up the hard drive. I can do it (now), but the normal end-user doesn't know how and thus won't truly see this product's value. True technology here, big things getting bigger and small things getting smaller.
