Comment I wouldn't buy it.. (Score 1) 95
As everyone else's said, a hard drive's most likely too fragile.. but also, since I'm a music nerd, 350M is too small!! I've been slowly MP3-izing my CD's and at ~12albums/CD-R I'm at 5 already with no sign of being done.
Why not put a CDROM w/ 16M in a portable case? That's over a minute of storage at 128 (and completely arbitrary, given the economies, it might be cheaer to put in a 64M sdram).
Even when the CD's skipping it'll have ample chance to retry and keep its buffer non-empty.
Then again, what I described is essentially a wearable PC with read-only FS and stripped-down memory and [probably] processor. That I'd buy. Especially if it came in fashionable colors ;)
