Both models retain the same 40GB and 80GB hard drives of their predecessors as well as SD and CompactFlash slots (other formats'll need an adapter-- so sorry, dear xD), with each getting a slight boost in screen size to a full four inches (up from 3.8 inches). The biggest benefit, however, seems to be an increase in operating speed -- a mighty 250% faster, according to Epson."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/epson-photo-viewer.jpg" /><br /><br />These Epson devices have always tempted me, but the price has always scared me off - the 80GB version is supposed to sell for $699 according to engadget. That's a pretty penny, though 80GB of storage is certainly killer.
