The mp302 also has the ability to record/playback voice via its built-in microphone. It can be used for storing any type of file and plays MP3/WMA/WAV. Both the Muvo and mp302 run on one AAA, giving 12 hours of continuous playback. Running at $179, it's a little more expensive than the $169.99 128MB Muvo, but I am willing to shell out ten bucks for an LCD. Go here for a better look at the display."

This article also updates one of the tenets of the modern Internet: you can't assign a static IP address to a computer without having it attacked within about 15 minutes. In this author's case, within minutes of setting up a Wi-Fi network without WEP turned on, his upstairs neighbor had noticed it and nicely told him to secure it.
