I saw the attached advertisement in a SEMA (aftermarket car customization trade group) magazine. G-Tech primarily seems to make performance meters and the music player shown uses the same housing as one of their meters. There was nothing the G-Tech website (www.gtechpro.com) about the player at all. It looked like an interesting form factor, but only 2GB but with a decent sized screen.

Anybody know about this thing?

"Your entire CD music collection stored on a 2GB hard drive."

Yeah, encoded at 2 kbps! Are they nuts? 2 gigs is maybe 30-40 albums at 128 kbps. Whose "entire CD music collection" fits into that?

I got a chuckle out of that too. I think I'd be bored listening to only 2 GB worth of music. Looking at the thing I have to wonder what form factor the storage is. It doesn't look big enough to hold a portable HD or even a PCMCIA card drive, but it must be because 2GB microdrives don't exist yet.

TWO microdrives, maybe?

No way.. that's way too obvious!

Wow. Good thing Patrick showed up to clear up those complicated technical details for us.
