How To Get A 4GB Microdrive For $299?
"As late as two days ago, the Muvo2 4gb coming out of Creative Labs own online shopping are not soldered. This rumor has been floating around. As of now, it is unsubstantiated by any individual, even anecdotally. Here's how to downgrade it to 1gb and end up with a 4gb MD and a very nice 1gb MP3 player for the price of the Muvo2 (Currently $299) and whatever you paid for your 1gb MD. Please be aware that there are reports that it will not work with a solid state CF. I have not independently confirmed this."
8O A way to get a 4GB CF Microdrive for only $299!? Mind you, this is totally at your own risk, but it's interesting to see that one can do this. I'm also curious as to how long this "workaround" will be possible...

It says to format in your camera. Would the same apply to a pocket pc with format utilities? Pretty cool hack.

bradolson in the Just Chattin' forum posted this link at Amazon. I think it's the same device, but it is listed as $199, though it isn't in stock.

Why get a 40Gb when you can buy 2 x 200GB IDE HD for the same price?
You are comparing apples and oranges.
People like this deal becuse getting a 4G microdrive would otherwise cost a lot more.

I thought I was comparing a 4gb mp3 player to a 40gb mp3 player.
