Hey all. I saw some pretty good deals on the net for 1st gen Hi-MD 600D model. From what I have gathered, the only major differences in the 2nd gen Hi-MD are: faster transfer speed, ability to play mp3's, and ability to use MD player as an external drive. In my opinion 1st and 2nd are certainly will be not worth a price that of an iPod. And 3rd... The gadget graveyard is filled with devices that tried to be too versitile (the PDA market is actually shrinking). Any opinions? Eugene.
