However, if i wanna write a document, or play a game, or whatever else, i dont wanna stop listening to my mp3s! A lot of my writing can only be done with music in the background! I beleive the Tungstens mp3 player can play in the background, is there anyway we can do the same?! Cheers.

Yup...you sure can. Not sure how it does it (not a computer expert), but it definitely works.

Using a cigarette plug-in charger, while multitasking and playing mp3's my charge maintains, and if the MP3 player is off the Clie battery level increases. __________________ CAUTION: DYSLEXIC SANTA WORSHIPPER..... why is a temporary haircut called a permanent?

I downloaded the beta, purchased some screamin' icons, and "BAM!" another four hours of "productive" time with my NX-70V as I assigned new icons to all of my events...
