I'll transfer all my photos to it and
Then I can show all my photos on a little screen
Or I can get out that wire and show them on my TV
Just like my old Sony digital camera has done for years!
That I have never used.
I do like the color menus, though.

HAHAHAAHAAHAHaaaa... (wipes dribble off face)
Wow. Apple is smoking some SERIOUS crack now. Steveo really needs to lay off the doobies. Wow.
If this thing sells it's solely due to apple marketing. I can pay $500 and get a Tungesten T3 with 10X the capablity, play songs, watch movies, view pictures, AND do my work. On top of that, Apple's iPod now costs what a bottom grade FULL PC costs. The are out of their friggin minds.
Apple, ever heard of iPHOTO? Your OWN PRODUCT? WTF is iTunes doing syncing photos?
It's not for everyone get it? It's a niche product. Nobody is holding a gun to your head to buy one.

And $29?!
Unless these things offer special attachment straps and pockets for accessories... I can see these things sitting on the shelf for a long time.
Then again, never underestimate the idiocy of consumers...
