I just got one of those here.

Amazing speed (6 MB/s to and from my PC).

USB 2.0 is better than 1.1 for several reasons, chief among them the fact that the popular chipset (the NEC) for it, has 3 USB 1.1 engines and 2 USB 2.0 engines on it, and can handle multiple USB connections better. For $30, it was a good choice (and I can put it in other PCs and Macs later).

I know someone who just got an iPod because their Archos jukebox literally self-destructed on them. It fell apart. This was the second one I saw fall apart this way. However, I hope they've improved their quality.

Oh well, off to install Xplay.
