It is really 1.5G, I thought it was a typo and meant 15G....

1.5G isn't too much more than what I can do with my PDA and CF.

Still not a great deal, but very light weight. The claim 1" hard drive on the etronics webpage. Dunno about the durability on this one.

The main points of this player is it's as small as a flash memory based player, but has a postage stamp sized HD that holds 1.5GB. Creative's Muvo2 is actually going to be smaller (2"x2"x.8") and be slightly cheaper with the same specs. Buy.com has it listed on their site, but it's "Out of stock" right now (probably because it's not out yet).

too expensive for "only" 1.5gb

Again...remember you're paying for size here, not storage.

Ya what kind of fool pays $200 for 1.5g of storage.

I can buy a 120gig HD for ~$80. So what if I have to haul my whole computer to the gym think about the VALUE!!!

Muvo2: 2.6" x 2.6" x 0.8" (5.41 cu in)

vs. Rio: 3.0" x 2.4" x 0.6" (4.32 cu in)

Smaller? Try 25% larger, even discounting the rio's slanted design.
