I too am eagerly awaiting the release of this portable... I currently own an Archos and I love it. It's flexibility is a little more suited to my needs than the one Empeg is working on, but I love the empeg's browsing features. I'm spinning like a top trying to decide if I want to wait and see what the Karma is like, or bite the bullet and upgrade the hard drive in the Archos to the 60-80GB level...
