I guess you work for IBM then :)

I wasn't impressed by the iGo's minimal power management which means that it's not practical to use the microdrive and batteries; Diamond have solved this with the Rio600 340Mb backpack (when it's out) which houses a second AA battery (total: 2) and still gives 10 hours playback from the microdrive. Cute.

I was *so* tempted by the PJB, especially as they wanted to swap one for an empeg, but I decided against it. We did have plans (when we were next not so busy) to do a hand-portable ourselves - more like a wearable actually, 20G, VGA out for visor-based display, ethernet, etc. Problem is, we're always a bit too busy to get round to it, and it would be fantastically expensive as it'd be incredibly small.
