Q5!

The Q5 is not for me. I am not interested in all the add. functions the Q5 will have.
I would be satisfied with a bigger HD and additional codec support.

in all seriousness, i wouldnt worry about video performance on anything, unless you can be guaranteed more than 1.5 hour battery life in video playback...

Hi,
I am new here and don't wish to offend but were is the evidence for "hybrid line-out"? It's a sincere question, I really am interested as
I'm interested in purchasing the A2 (or A3 if it's 60GB and ever makes it to market). I'd like to see the references / evidence for this kind of statement. As a prospective buyer I'd like to get hardened facts.

read the post on top, someone already mentioned that A2 gave him 7+ of battery life on video alone.

But anyway, I think there is a modifying firm ware flowing on the web, I forgot what does it call, but it can be install on the X5 for more support
