ooo that's nice. I want to try it first to make sure the UI is the way I like it. Does anybody know if compusa has it on display?

also, is there any sort of hack out there to get it working as a usb mass storage device? (without extra drivers)

i doubt CompUSA will carry the DJ.

also, i don't think there are drivers to make it a generic usb mass storage device. that would be cool though.

Does this include the in-line remote? It isn't mentioned in the text and is conspiculously absent from the photos.

Also, does anyone know what "1-year Advanced Exchange" means?

Advanced Exchange means they will sent you a replacement unit without waiting for you to ship defective one to them.

The general consensus is that FM transmitters suck. I wouldn't bother. I have a Belkin Tunecast that is horrible in a car and only good for when I am near an actual stereo.

As for the car charger. I havn't used one. With 16+ hrs of battery life, I have yet to find a day that I use up the juice and need to recharge. Also, car chargers can be had on ebay for less.

FM transmitters suck because it more or less = radio, and radio is at lower frequency and bitrate. The only other 2 solutions that are easy are a tape adapter, and the best, to hook it up directly to a auxilliary input. Your headunit may or may not have one, and you can integrate one with a stop to Radioshack and some electronics know-how. For me, it's just a matter of making things neat after that.

Does the 15gb model come with a carrying case?

I don't think so. But in all reality (IMO) it is worthless. When in it's case you can only access buttons that are on the side (volume, power). I don't even use mine.
