What about price competitiveness? IMHO, we want these devices to be as cheap as profitable (heh), and adding hardware to the purchase doesn't help reach this goal. "Also included with each sale will be EPAC encoding software and a CompactFlash card reader/writer external drive for desktop computers." Chris

.........and in other news. Jeff << Matsushita confirms Universal digital music deal Universal has formed a pact with AT&T, Matsushita and Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) to combine their online music distribution efforts, Matsushita said admitted today. The tie-in was predicted by The Register earlier this month. The deal will combine Universal's digital music distribution efforts and its artist roster with BMG's own back-catalogue (both BMG and Universal, formerly known as Polygram, are two of the world's 'big five' music labels), AT&T's cable network and Matsushita's consumer electronics divisions. That puts the combined enterprise ahead of other players in the game. Sony's tie-in with IBM, for example, is comparable but lacks the distribution channel that AT&T brings to the Universal team. AT&T gets something out of the deal: possible support for its ailing a2b music format. Despite AT&T assurance to the contrary, the format's future remains in doubt ever since half of the division that develops it jumped ship for Microsoft-backed Reciprocal. Universal has publicly said it will begin offering a full online music service by the end of the year. Sony, meanwhile, will begin a more basic, singles-oriented scheme in the summer. ® >>
