brian h ---an article that will help MP3 and cell phones ---courtesy of my fourthteen year old son ---thought you might be interested in : DataPlay Digital Media discs Dataplay's little discs could change the way you listen to music, take pictures, read books, and even surf the Net. Each optical disc is about the size of a quarter and holds 500MB. The read/write engine is small enough to fit into a variety of handheld devices without adding too much bulk. DataPlay-enabled products won't hit U.S. shelves until October, but there are already some incredible devices in Asia, including a wireless Internet PDA/MP3 player/cell phone/digital camera from eAnywhere. Toshiba has plans for a variety of devices like audio players and digital cameras, while Samsung displayed a futuristic line of products with DataPlay drives including Web pads and multimedia players that they expect to start shipping around 2003. Our only complaint? The discs aren't rewriteable. But at only $5 to $12 per blank disc, they're still more economical than flash memory. msn.zdnet.com BEST WISHES BILL PS From the Consumer Electronis Show
