I guess I'm a bit odd, never owned an empeg but just loved the whole idea and the people behind it seemed pretty cool too, started visiting the boards as soon as I became aware of their existence. Had my name down for a Mk I and a Slimp3 at the same time, I ended up going for the Slimp3 and a really dodgy brick of a portable mp3player (Neo???). Never like the Rio branding on later versions. Think I joined just before I bought my first Karma which, now that Peter's brought it up, is still a way better player than the iPod.

Why is it that companies that really know what they're doing on the product (robust, lightweight apps) like Psion and Empeg fail but Apple and MS with their huge bloated apps succeed?
