I believe the rumors about a "version 2" MuVo2 are unfounded, at least for 6-12 months. Do you believe that Hitachi could force Creative to modify their hardware and software design after a contract was signed? If I was the Creative Marketing Manager I probably wouldn't care if the customers were using them as sacrifices to the volcano gods. This is nothing more than additional sales without any warranty obligations. What I can see happening is at the next Creative-Hitachi contract negiotations, Hitachi forces Creative to take a drive with a little "nub" on it's case that prevents it from sliding into a CF socket. Also, "the cat is already out of the bag" when it comes to the REAL value of that drive. There will be a lot of people really pissed at Hitachi for screwing them if they keep trying to get $500 for a camera CF card. John Lovda __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
