Why not Hi-MD ? (Score 1)

Sony for one makes a new MD format Hi-MD which can do 1GB on the disk, is compatible with older MD formats, suppors 100X USB transfer from a PC and the best part.. you can store it's media and replace the motor unit if it ever breaks. I for one am not buying an iPod anymore as I would really like to be able to store disks with sets of songs. Also not having a DRM mechanism like the iPod makes it useful for distributing media to people. check http://minidisco.com/portables.html for examples
