The problem is they DON'T import them. They've put the emphasis on tech, and tech infrastructure for a long time now. You can do real videoconfrenceing from your cell phone with FOMA there. Here? We barly have megapixal cameras in cell phones, while over there they consumer digital cameras are averaging 1 gigapixel with 5+ megapixel cameras in cellphones.

Makes me want to move to Japan.

I am now the happy owner of a 4th Gen 20gb iPod. Only problem is figuring out what to put on it as i have ~55gb of mp3s. :-/
Maybe I should get one of the iPod photos, but I have a feeling I'll pass 60gb before too much longer.

I am, however, looking at getting an iRiver PMP-120 or an Archos AV420. Any thoughts?

Ok, I lied, my Archos battery wasn't dead afterall.

I ordered the $30 replacement battery that also supposedly gives up to 40% more life for my model, and figured out how to get at the battery so when it came I'd know what to do.

Turns out that after all that, the battery just needed to be pushed down a little more so that it made better contact...
