I just finished filling out this survey which described and showed a new device being developed by various companies. It is supposed to be Windows powered (that's the Microsoft part of it)This is what it said:
We would now like you to review a new product that is currently being developed by Microsoft and several leading consumer electronics companies.
This digital media device plays MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files, can store 1,000 CD-quality songs, and has a 2" x 2" color screen capable of displaying both text and pictures, with menus that you navigate using buttons on the device. The device can connect to your PC, using either a single cable (for both file transfer and power source) or via a bluetooth wireless connection for transferring files without cables. The bluetooth capability also allows for the use of wireless headphones, in addition to the standard wired headphones.
In addition to transfer of files and playlists, the device also has the ability to sync with the Contacts and Calendar you have stored on your PC, which you can then view on the device. The device can store not only music files, but also digital video, digital photos, Microsoft Office documents, Web pages, etc.. When you approach another PC you can transfer files from the portable digital media device to that PC.
You can also connect the portable digital media device to a car or home stereo system, allowing music stored on the device to be played back through the speaker system of a car or home stereo. Similarly, you can connect the device to a TV to view digital pictures and play video clips, such as home movies, that are stored on the portable digital media device. The digital media device also connects to a digital camera, and automatically transfers digital pictures from the camera to the device and stores them for transferring to a PC later.
