Hey, no problem. Hard to believe you can get that much MP3 player for 99 bucks, isn't it? My daughter takes it everywhere she goes.

Now the mission is to find a case for it, so it doesn't get scratched to hell.

I showed it to my dad - he's thinking about getting one. It's really as good as everyone says? Man, I might have to pick one up for myself.

the software for it is a little glichy, you should update it to version 1.06 and update the firmware to 2.17 and everything should be A-ok.

i used it to fall asleep last night. supposedly it has the same MP3 playback chip the iPod does, so the quality is up to par with the iPods'.

Would it be possible to add more storage by replacing the HDD or does it use flash memory? It looks like a good deal anyway.

It's a Cornice drive player, so in theory you could upgrade it.

Here are some cases for it:

Fucking awesome! Take that, iPod.

It'd be a problem if you misplaced it, though....

Given that there are fewer external buttons (two versus the iPod's six), and that the touch sensitive front is sealed from dust and moisture I predict that the M:Robe will be more resistant to damage, but we'll see.
