Of course, it will be worked around, but it's not a game I feel like playing any more.<BR/><BR/>I'm leaning towards the Cowon Q5, but it's late, expensive, and Windows CE based, so it's far from a sure thing.Alec Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172977631007255821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21332048.post-51278456783708882312007-09-17T15:23:00.000-04:002007-09-17T15:23:00.000-04:00The Nokia Internet Tablets have a built-in mp3 pla...The Nokia Internet Tablets have a built-in mp3 player. There are also installable alternatives with nicer user interfaces. I don't know how long the battery would last if you were listening to an mp3 with the screen turned off. Several hours definitely, but I can't tell how many.<BR/><BR/>The most glaring deficiency from an open-source friendly person's perspective is lack of built-in Ogg Vorbis support.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy with my N800, but I'm not blind to its deficiencies. If you want a pocketable Linux laptop replacement with an ssh client (installable separately), a web browser (built-in) and a reasonable-pixel-size screen (800x480), by all means go for it, but if you just want a small mp3 player, a device dedicated for that would do better.Marius Gedminashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155998626202067226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21332048.post-75168996878322809192007-09-17T10:57:00.000-04:002007-09-17T10:57:00.000-04:00It's already been fixed/worked around, if you're t...It's already been fixed/worked around, if you're talking about the new checksum'ing<BR/><BR/>http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/07/09/17/135205.shtmlJessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543015027323408421noreply@blogger.com
