Well I got one - from Scan ( what a rip of their carriage charges are )
Unfortunalty still can't give a report on how good it is, cos I can;t burn 8cm disks ! - My Ricoh7083A burner throws a wobbler every time - lucky I got -RW's
I took the plunge with the Oracom ORC200 may not be a cd unit but it seems a cracking piece of kit and completely destroys the Creative Muvo (some might suggest thats not tricky)...well worth a punt if your in the market for a plug and play unit that can take ordinary files + mp3s...excellent LCD on it as well...:)
Have now been able to burn 8cm cds ( need a new burner at home now !).
Very happy with sound quality, lcd display good , shows all ID tags so far. rechargables included in price.
Only downside so far is avaiability of 8cm media - Argos seems only/cheapest source for cd-rw - cd-r is available on net but shipping charges etc push it close to argos price for cd-rw.

how much do 2 AA batteries weigh - what else is there ?
The more I read about this the more tempted I am - and I wasn;t even in the market for a new player !
more review info here and better photos, doesn't look quite so garish on that site.
battery life only downside at the mo - still couple of set of Nimh's should sort that

sources for 8cm cd-rw media
Argos, Komplett
It seems Sony are skewing the market for these disks somewhat, they use them in one of their cameras - and are trying to charge 7.99 per disk !!
Komplett charge about 70p / disk ( + those damm shipping charges)
Not a bad mark up there - Sony
More favorable reviews here and here
some of these peeps paid £150 for it - so its current price of £32.90 is a steal
