FYI the C200 series also supports http://www.rockbox.org/ This means that you get extra functionality (if you want it) but more importantly you can also get SDHC support meaning that you could add significantly more memory to the unit via its MicroSD slot.

But thanks to Sandisk changing the hardware you can’t be sure if Rockbox will work. It doesn’t support v2 of the c200/e200 series and you can’t be sure of getting a v1 without opening the box to check.
On the list of features on the front page of www.catchoftheday.com.au does state:
“Supports Rockbox!”. If it doesnt support RockBox that’d be false advertising…
So i think it would be reasonable to assume that they will support Rockbox. If not I’ll be asking for a refund…
I thought SDHC support was a hardware thing not a software one..
Rockbox is pretty good but I don’t thin k it’s quite that good.. I helped port Rockbox to the Toshiba gigabeat a few years back. it adds great software functionality..
After some searching, it seems I am wrong.. SDHC is just software!!
Normally this unit can take up to 2GB microSD where as with SDHC I don’t know what the upper limit is. If it enabled you to put a 4GB or 8GB card in some time in the future when memory prices come down it seems a good upgrade path to give the unit good long term usability.
ok, i gave in and bought one -_-;
too bad it was 10c under $50
could of used this along with it!

Told myself I’d try and keep it to one submission a week, but this was too good to pass up.
Thanks for putting the photo in Scotty.
