With 20GB 1.8" hard drive you can fit the best part of your music collection plus that of your best mate on this player and you can also store all other digital files on it. It's the ideal accessory to a busy lifestyle providing you with top-quality MP3 and WMA play back, an FM radio, voice/direct line-in recording, as well as built-in games, clock, calender and memo function. All this in one slinky, black and silver alloy metal player just 1.5cm thick. The L1 has USB2.0 allowing a super-speedy transfer between computer and player."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/fl20.jpg" /><br /><br />The device is called the L1, where L1 stands for Love One (an odd name IMHO). It offers a 16MB shock resistant buffer in addition to the 20GB drive. It is 6.7oz which means it is a bit heavier than the iPod or the iRiver players. Currently, you can preorder it for US$369. A lot more information available on the <a href="http://www.frontierlabs.com/l1/l1.html">Frontier Labs</a> site.<br /><br />On a side note, I hadn't seen <a href="http://www.dapreview.com">DAPreview.com</a> before (not to be confused with Dpreview.com), but they appear to have a site dedicated to high-capacity, portable Digital Audio Players (DAP).
