The Neuros players are really large and heavy. Not as good as the
iPod. But I take it.. the sound is better?? and it has an FM tuner.
How good is the reception? 80 gigs!  My 10 gig iPod is only half
full??  I do have a lot of digital photos....thousands, can I put
these on it and use it as a storage device too?
