Pay $169 for a 1.5 GB hard disk player?  It's the size of a small stop
watch, so it doesn't fit in my hand comfortably, the little joystick
is gay, there's too many buttons and other controls on such a physically
small device, it's also butt-ugly, and the list price is $199.

I'd rather spend a little more for a 4 GB iPod mini.
