that's cool. i got my 10gb in Japan a few days ago... though it came with no carry bag unlike the previous low-end model. it actually lost battery life and included accessories between revisions. bummer.
battery life battery life battery life. =(
as soon as i find a female 6-pin firewire plug i'm going to construct a home-made battery pack. one that doesn't cost
US$59
and bjeezus, the universal plug adapters are an extra US$39 that's just crazy man!
