How much does it cost? Looks interesting.

What's the data transfer speed from CF card reader? Too bad it's not built in.

[Pinoy]

Looks good... and expensive?

Hope the cost won't and our pocket too.

Yes, it will. The directory structure is similiar to most pocket digital imaging devices.

I'm negotiating to see whether I can bundle it free for Clubsnappers.

Yes, I know. But how many devices can do MPEG4 and DivX decoding? Decoding of MPEG4 and DivX requires a really high speed processor, thus a drain on the battery. Besides, you are also paying for a 3.8" LCD. That drains some juice too!
