It's actually only slightly thicker than an iPod if you take it out of the case. The case makes it enormous. It's a 40GB hard drive with a hard-to-use interface, basically. The technology is great, but the interface is a disaster.</p> <p>If iPod supported Ogg Vorbis, I'd buy one just for the elegant interface. Why don't they? It's a) royalty-free b) it's better quality audio in a smaller file c) it's patent-free d) I'm sure there are other reasons too.</p> <p>I'm sure everyone reading this blog knows of my stubborn insistence on free as in freedom, so I bet my attitude about this is no surprise :-)</p> Yep :-) it’s an iRiver H340.
