I thought the PMCE's were a great idea, just poorly implemented. When a company like Creative releases their brick-sized PMCE, and then shortly after released a NON-PMCE device that's much smaller & better, that's a sign that companies never really were behind it. And then all the other devices just have so much more to offer.

Toshiba just sputtered forth the latest in the V Series of Gigabeat players: the 40GB V401 (Â¥49,800 / $409) and 80GB V801 (Â¥59,800 / $491). Each packs a new 4-inch, 24-bit color, 480 x 272 pixel display with built-in brightness sensor for automatic adjustment to local lighting conditions.
