Some other press coverage.

Some of the other press items on the announcement are here:

One of those articles even sees the LifeDrive as a market play against iPod. I think they need a content distribution system or at least management software and synching mechanisms to compete there, but I suppose it's possible.

And of course there are always a few odd comments from the media (not unlike some of the silly things occassionally written by yours truly), like this one from WebProNews...
Quote:
The Lifedrive will contain the Garnet OS instead of its own traditional OS.
Oh my! Didn't he notice that Garnet is the same PalmOS version 5 that's been powering all the latest models?
