The player puts your Rhapsody music in your hand and never needs to be connected to a PC to do it—not even for setup.
The concept is simple: The Ibiza uses Wi-Fi to connect to the Rhapsody online music service to stream or grab your Rhapsody music. The device also has a 30GB hard drive, so it can be used as a traditional portable media player. (You do need to connect to your computer to load non-Rhapsody files on the player.) Oh, and it plays video (there's an AOL video tie-in, too) and displays photos on a screen identical in size to the iPod 's. On top of that, there's FM radio, a Web browser, Bluetooth functionality, and an awesome navigation pad (virtually identical to the one in the new Zune players ). Pretty impressive. It's not all good, however: The interface can be slow at times, and if you're streaming music (versus playing a download), the tracks can take some time to cue. Nor is the Ibiza likely to win any beauty contests. But if you want access to your Rhapsody account on the go, you should give this player a try. On the flip side, if you're not a Rhapsody fan, there's no reason to buy this device over a Zune or an iPod.
The Ibiza is part of a new class of PMPs that's emerging: the subscription service–based device. Slacker is releasing a portable player designed to work specifically with its subscription Internet radio service, and earlier in the year, SanDisk released the Sansa Connect, which has a strong Yahoo! Music tie-in. But the Ibiza doesn't work only with Rhapsody like, say, the iriver Clix Rhapsody or the Samsung P2 do. (These devices load limited content every time you connect the player to your PC via USB.) The Ibiza lets you take Rhapsody with you—complete with artist bios and all your account's channels—without your ever having to touch a computer. This is something no other player currently does. Makes me wonder, "Hey Haier, where the hell have you been?"

Good post.
Just wondering if eBay permits you to market [url=http://www.ticketchoice.com.au]concert tickets[/url] on-line? Do you know if you will discover any restrictions depending on what country you're in?
My parents have just called me and asked if i could "get rid" of their two tickets to some concert as they wont be able to make it as a result of yet another family event.
Apart from asking close friends etc, i thought ebay would be a great location to market them.
But whats ebay's policy on promoting tickets? Ive heard alot about it around the news but ive forgotten what happened.
and if it matters, the concert is inside of this coming month
Thanks in advance for the advice.
