It's probably legal to own one but illegal to use one or something stupid like that. 20G a bit too much capacity for me, going to get one soon but want a flash drive so I can bring files and presentations to work with me without having to burn them onto a cd. also want the smallest one possible so I can have it in the gym and not feel the weight when jogging. Has anyone bought one of the Hong Kong ones from ebay?

Apparently Silver Polish on both the back and the screen gets rid of the scratches like a treat.

Had my 40Gb since November 2004 - the battery is starting to go something chronic (only get 2hrs out of it now off a full charge) - I think a Service Request is to be raised

i take back all the good things i said about ipods.

mine crashed on me this morning on the way to work, sitting at the bus stop, decided to change albums as you do selected one, pressed the select button, put it on to track nine.. pressed the select button...

and now its frozen on the track select screen, cant force a reset as all the buttons are frozen too.. so i'm just staring at a screeen which looks like its on a demo model...

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH

I have the Sony HD-1, it is a great machine though I have two problems with the sony models.

Firstly, and very significantly, the volume restriction is a pain in the arss at times. Some albums simply are not loud enough when released and whatever way Sony designed its products, it doesn't take this into account. There is a secret way of unlocking the volume restrictions, which makes it a lot better, but it is still not loud enough on some albums.

Secondly, the navigation through the tracks is not as quick and easy as the Ipod or Zen models.

That aside, it looks great, the sound quality is great too. Nice size, and a good machine.
