Hitachi 4GB microdrive

[ST1100]

Does anyone know if this little baby has hit our shores yet? If so, where, and how much. TIA.

 

[chucks]

Only a small handful of retailers from US got them, according to reports. Singapore not so fast lah.

up...
any updates?
anyway the Creative Muvo2 4gb is using this...
bloddy exp ~ $6xx for a plasticky player...

$6xx for a plasticky player but you got to see what is inside first. I don't think 4gb microdrive is any much cheaper than that. anyone know the price?

Challenger is selling the Muvo 2 4GB for $479 according to Computer Times today.

People are buying the MuVo2 and ripping out the 4GB drives. Works apparently, and much cheaper.

I am wondering how they use the ripped out 4GB drive. Is it directly ready to use or have to transfer it to another microdrive casing. :think:

Any idea?

The Muvo2 is now using an older 1 gig MD.

Frankly, if you're into hacking things, the ripping out option is a lot more interesting because you get a really good MP3 player *and* a 4 gig MD at the same time. The Muvo2 on it's own is tiny and has terrific sound quality. I'd get better earphones to go with it of course. :bsmilie:

What do you mean? Your Muvo2 is using 4x1GB MD or you own the 1GB MD model?

 

[JaGr]

FYI the Muvo2 only has 512mb, 1.5gb and 4gb models. the 4gb model is the only one using MD

 

[disclog]

Can it work if we replace the MD with 256MB CF card? :dunno:

Btw, who is planning to get this? Maybe can get better offer when purchase more. :bsmilie:
