Summary: Great Gadget not a Necessity
Review: First thing people say: is that a PDA? a electronic dictionary? a notepad? a cigarette case (this was my 58-year old uncle who has no relationship with computers)

First thing is first. If you REALLY want it! Then get it. You won't regret it if money is not the issue.

However, this is a gadget not a necessity. For 1/3 the money you can get a hard drive that has the same or bigger capacity than this.

This is NOT a MP3/Hard Drive. It's just a portable hard drive that you can carry around at ease. Since it is battery powered, you can carry it without power cords.

However the weight of this unit is not light as it looks. It's a little heavier than an usual cellphone, and bigger than a size of a men's folding wallet.

This unit does NOT have a USB cord on the unit itself, you need a connector to hook it up. No driver is necessary, it should be recognizable for most computers.

Bottom Line: It looks beautiful as it sits next to my computer, always connected with a AC Adapter. The color and the design of this thing is exquisite. As the stand-light bounces off this thing, I can't help myself from looking at it.

BUT!!!! Do you think it was worth all that money for a pretty gadget? You be the judge...
