    Cool Toshiba 5GB MP3 player $189.06

    I copied this from the website linked above. Looks like you need to use the Toshiba software to convert your mp3, etc to some kinda Toshiba only format. That sounds like a downer to me. I'll pass on the toshiba. ==Cocophone==

    DEAD (with official Dell statement) - Rio Karma 20GB Jukebox for $50.

    For a 20GB unit the "REAL" Dell price is not that great. I won't be buying one. The 40GB unit is only a little more. Maybe this time next year they will be giving these things away so you will use Dell's Music Service. ==Cocophone==

    DEAD (with official Dell statement) - Rio Karma 20GB Jukebox for $50.

    I can't take the waiting anymore!!!!! If they are going to cancel the orders than they should just DO IT and get it over with! The stress of waiting is going to kill me. My wife and kids will have to sue Dell for my soon to be stress related demise. ==Cocophone==

    Has anybody received a cancellation email? With the Diminsion 4600 computer all I received was a short email that looked like it had been forward about 50 time around Dell before it was sent out the public. ==Cocophone==
