Hmm... This has got me thinking of "the future". I've got about 9 months left on my best buy waranty for my Karma. I had always assumed the hard drive would die, Rio would realease a really cool player, and I'd go upgrade on Best Buy's tab.

As it stands now, my Karma's hard drive shows no signs of dieing and Rio won't be releasing anything soon. Best Buy stocks ipods, creative's offerings and one iRiver player at the moment. I'll either get religion and then start praying that my Karma's hard drive keeps on keeping on, or I'll start buying dead karma's on ebay and whacking 'em till I get a working backup.
