With the Apple iPod being such a success, it is only natural for other manufacturers to jump on board with the known recipe for success. Called the Gigabeat MEG50JS , this portable music player features a removable 5GB hard disk and supports MP3, WMA or WAV digital audio formats.
The included removable 5GB hard disk offers enough space for about 1,000 MP3 files recorded at 128Kbps and with an average 5 minutes per song. Earlier in the year we gave you a first look at Toshibas 1.8-inch hard disks developed by Toshiba. These 1.8-inch hard drives are encased in a PC card surrounding and can be removed and used in laptops and other devices with a PC Card slot.
