Does anyone know if the new Hitachi 4GB CF microdrive will work on the 2215? I'm looking for storage for mp3's and it sounds perfect. I looked up compatibility on Hitachi's site and it shows the Ipaq 5400 series...

Thanks for the help!

Most likely, it will. Note, though, that you really want to get a "caching" MP3 playback program. Using a Microdrive with WMP will cause the drive to spin constantly, which will eat your battery very rapidly.

Is there a good "caching" mp3 playback program or would I be better off buying an ipod for the same price as a 4GB CF card?

PocketMVP has a Microdrive mode which will cache the song into memory. There are likely others as well.
