Hey check it. I just found out it can play in order. By the front page it looked like it couldn't. Not a bad implementation after all.
Wonder if you can change it's batteries.

PC makers (IBM comes to mind) tried this about 4-5 years ago. Nobody bought them because the functionality was so diminished that the form (which was pretty cool) was irrelevent.

Yeah, there's a flip switch on the back to switch between shuffle and linear play. The problem, as I see it, is that the linearity of your gig of music (10-15 hours worth) is determined when you load the music. If I'm listening to a song, my only choices are a randomly chosen song or whatever song is next.

Slow, overpriced, non-upgradeable, and outdated before you ever get it. Sounds like a fantastic deal
