    120GB for £130!

    That's a bit pricey. For just 35% more (£175) a 120GB iPod's about the same size, but does a lot more....

    Units.

    "Still, we think the S1 looks rather snazzy, but what really matters is the size: the S1's about the size of a packet of smokes - 87 x 62 x 15.5mm, according to Reg Hardware's handy ruler - making it eminently pocketable and portable."

    About time the fag packet was added to the list of Reg standard units.

    14 GB of music?

    I've just been reading the articles about the pirate bay, so the comment about the music files jumped out immediately. Surely this device is the perfect accessory for a music pirate, being easily pocketable and capable of holding gazillions of pounds worth of 'hot' music.

    Best ban it.

    I'll think you'll find the shorter cord is for power only and not data. It is for times when a single USB 2.0 won't supply enough current to operate this drive so use 2x USB sockets.

    "not much larger than this picture"

    That's a huge device! I measured it while projected on my wall!

    hmm

    that does look very nice, although I'm less impressed with the capacity. Much less than 500gb has limited interest these days
