It's difficult to figure without any scale or relation. How handy is it?

Basically, its size is the same as most of the PMPs that use a laptop hard drive. If you seen one, you have seen most of them (in terms of size that is). It is easily carriable though.

Let me know against which device you want me to shoot it for: a Dell x50v, an HP PDA, a PalmV, a CD or a phone.

Thanks a lot!

Go back to the article, I added a second size-comparison picture, and also at the very end of the article, I included a video clip of the unit while it was playing the Matrix trailer (.3gp video, shot with my phone camera).

He used the 60 GB version, but other than that, the two devices are identical.

However, I can't seem to track down where I might be able to buy a spare battery, even even the details of what battery it takes. Anyone know? Thu, 24 Nov 2005 05:31:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?64125 http://osnews.com/thread?64125 Also, Eugenia, did your review unit come with a spare battery? Evidently ENGadget's did. I'd like to know before I get one.

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 06:12:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eugenia) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?64194 http://osnews.com/thread?64194 Looking for such a player withan ebook reader. PDF support would be very nice!

Also, when you watch a movie and shut it down, does it resume where you left off upon restart? Thu, 24 Nov 2005 11:56:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (hashnet) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?64246 http://osnews.com/thread?64246 No and No. The second question is already answered in the article.
