246 useless dollars for 2GB - and u say the ipod's overpriced!

"the 2gb *may* be a bit low for video" - pah! 2 crappy GB - joke city,
Arizona! For same price I got an Archos 160GB - a proper video / MP3/4
recorder / player



And as its linux - folks will spend all their time tweaking it to get it to
half work!

Lol

Also reported to the proper authorities since it appears all the IP's used by the OP
are stolen.

Why in six months? What's going to be your measure of quality then,
market share?

If the Wizpy isn't outselling the iPod by then, it'll just remind us
of how Mercedes doesn't outsell Chevrolet...

What do you think "GOODBYE iPod" implies, if not that this will put an
end to the iPod.

And the iPod won't have wave "GOODBYE", will it?

I'm sure Apple would love to sell 10 times as many computers and make
less money than they currently do (i.e. Dell).

People who buy the Wizpy will say goodbye to the iPod.

Beats me. Can an iPod wave?
