The part where they said the players are "available now" was news to us, but Starz's $10 per month Vongo movie download service is up and running, so assuming you actually find a place to pick up that Gigabeat S (with 2.4-inch QVGA display, PMC 2.0, FM tuner, USB On-The-Go, etc.) you can get your "iPod-killer" on post-haste. And it's about freaking time, too."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/gigabeat_30_60.jpg" /><br /><br />Cool to know. Damn, so many rumours about this device and then all the waiting, it is finally here. Looks so pretty. I think I will wait for reviews though given some of the previous Toshiba devices that have been launched before.
