You're right, interesting item. I'm not sure I want to buy anything that
is portable with a "micro-drive" in it yet. Is that a hardware drive?
With spinning disk(s), etc.?

The I3 and I2 are also interesting. They got that down to $321 and that
includes City Select North America NT on DVD.

They all use TransFlash (aka Micro-SD, not to be confused with Mini-SD)
memory cards. TransFlash is pretty new and presently about double the
cost of SD cards at street prices. But memory prices will come down in
time.
