Aus,Binx & Gang: I believe that the following excerpt from Binx's URL(#7765) is somewhat distressing. The way I read the slightly biased conclusion is that the Lyra,Rio,Nomad do not have a "removeable" storage medium. I assume that Steven Kent and Tim Bajarin (Pres.Creative Strategies) have not had the pleasure of visiting other sites that present alternative storage mediums. CF,MMC. Maybe an introduction to the Sandisk home/web page would be in order. Then they could see how many manufacturers are ahead of the Memory Twig. . << Memory Stick Walkman: Sony has created a new Walkman with a Memory Stick port, essentially creating the first MP3-type music player with an interchangeable medium. This means you can plug a Memory Stick into a VAIO to download up to 80 minutes of standard-compression music files from the Internet, then plug the Memory Stick into your Walkman and listen.>> << Obviously the Diamond Rio, Creative Labs Nomad and RCA Lyra all appeared on store shelves before Memory Stick Walkman, but all of these units have built-in storage. With Memory Stick Walkman, you could conceivably carry extra Memory Sticks to expand your music selection>> Am I reading this wrong? Ron (still weirded out)
