Thanks for the pics Rob!

Looks very promising, 'cept for the 3-4 year time estimate! I wonder how much of that is really due to technical/development, or whether it is due more to market forces - component costs, OEM integration and supply chains, legal issues etc.

One thing that caught my eye - it's touted as not needing an external PC connection for loading up music. It's also touted as being able to automatically do 'freedb' type tagging. I'm not sure what the total size of freedb is currently, but I'm sure it would take a sizeable chunk out of the drive space, and that still wouldn't resolve the issue of database validity wrt newly released music. Maybe the device is intended to be integrated into an 'Onstar' type system to obtain this information, or maybe they're looking at periodic database updates via distributed CDROMs...although that'd have to be monthly, would cost money, and would still be 2-3 months stale by the time it got there. Any other ideas?
