Hmm... so recording everything isn't that much data. That's good, and simplifies things. But yeah, I forgot that the empeg keeps the hard drives read-only, and spun down most of the time. I guess there's probably a way to hold the data in memory until a certain amount has been recorded, then write it in chunks to the hard drive. That would help with keeping the drive from spinning all the time, which wouldn't be good for it. How much memory is there for apps to use? Probably not much. As for the R/W thing, that's a bit trickier...
