I would really like to have something like that in my K5, but $299 is a bit more than I'm willing to spend at the present time. I really do like the look of it.

I have been looking at that as well. Here is another thread that follows it...

The only downfall that I can find is that it is a MP3 "player". After reading I realized that you have to your leave storage device plugged into the usb slot on the front. In other words, it has no storage space built in. I originally was thinking that you could save your music files to it. Anyway, it still has my attention. I wish I could find someone who has actually USED it so we could get some feedback.

MP3 player means that it will play MP3 files you have burned to a CD or DVD.
