Salutations,
It is innovative. iPod holds 5 gigs. And from what I understand it also
functions as a FireWire hard drive.
No charging cord. It charges from the FireWire connection.
So not only do you have an MP3 player, you have a VERY small one, you have
one that can actually hold a decent amount of music, you have only ONE cord,
and you have a portable hard drive.
Not too shabby.
