Anyone have an Opinion on this MP3 Player? With the high density of SD cards being used by PPC, I wondered if this is a device anyone has experience with.

That looks pretty cool, especially with 256 MB built-in and two SD slots. The downside is that it's only USB 1.1 (no Firewire or USB 2.0), but if you have an SD writer on your desktop, that may be less important.
