>From posts on dpreview it sounds like the Muvo2 is using a standard Hitachi microdrive while the one in the Minipod is using a non-standard firmware. No one has been able to get these to work in a camera yet. I wouldn't be surprised if the Muvo2 also switched to such a drive. At the moment they are very difficult to get. I was hoping that the drive from the Apple would work. I can get those locally and would like to have one of these drives before next weekend. The Muvo2 units are out of stock everywhere. alex
