Well, a little OT, as I have nothing to contribute about 1940 vs. 2210--I just got a 2210, but it's the first PPC I've owned, and I've never tried a 1940. The storage difference with the CF slot could certainly make a difference for large multimedia files.
What I'm mostly curious about are the music software products you mentioned. Could you please write more about them, on this thread or another one?
I am a musician and music teacher, and have long been working with music software on PCs. Now, I just have had my first PPC a couple of days, and it would be handy to sometimes work with music on it.
I know it can play back MP3s. But what about for music creation, MIDI editing, etc.? I wish there was a version of Cakewalk for PPC, and a Band-in-a-Box version for the OS would sure be handy, a very little band to practice with!
PPC OS doesn't come with a software synth like Windows XP does, does it? But you mentioned some software synths. Please tell me more about them, and how one can try them out.
Someone here mentioned the product "Griff". I did download the trial version for that one, and tried it out a little. I'm not too impressed so far, but I really haven't tried it out much yet, and the trial version is very crippled, so it seems you can't try much. And I'm surprised that. although it seems to be able to save to MIDI (disabled in the trial version though), I didn't even see an option of importing a MIDI file. If one wants to transfer a file one was working on the desktop PC to the PPC to work on when one is away, for example, no way to transfer it, if "Griff"can't open a MIDI file. Does Griff contain its own softsynth?
Any more comments on music software for the PPC would be appreciated.
