New Two problems with that.
1. It's a lot larger than the conveninent 7" or 9" displays of the portable players.

2. It's a *lot* more expensive than a dedicated portable player from a mainstream electronics store. And I don't need another computer.

Oh, and it's an Apple. The fanboism by the employees in the Mac stores is a distinct putoff. Other than that, it's basically not a bad idea. Maybe for my next Linux laptop I'll get one with an optical drive.
