Personally (and this isn't my anti-Sony bias) I don't like using my PDA as an MP3 player. Usually when I want to use a portable MP3 player, it's when I'm working out, biking, or jogging -- not times when you want to be carrying around a $400 PDA! I've already destroyed one $75 MP3 player by landing on it after a particularly ungraceful "dismount" from my bike... if that had been my PDA, I would have been heartbroken. -- Ben Steeves; -- ben_steeves@yahoo.com -- ICQ: 15105093 "Power corrupts.
