Those things get tangled no matter what I do with them >.> Hey, since we’re on the subject of headphones and whatnot, anybody know of a way to keep the cords from tangling every time I put ‘em in my pocket, bag, leave them around, or whatever else?

This alone is a somewhat effective way to block at least some noise. By definition it is a noise isolating mechanism. Earphones that are marketed as noise isolating are manufactured with extra attention to how snugly they fit in your ear. Most of these models try to seal off your ear canal more thoroughly by extending the earbud into your ear canal. Most earbuds fit snugly in your ear and block the opening to your ear canal.

It's more a novelty right now for me. As for the SD slot, I'm not as bothered by that as others are, though it would obviously be a smart thing for them to include. And the organization problem I'm sure is a big one for them. The screen UI is just too difficult to manage I think. The Sony Reader (having a touchscreen) is slightly better, but the problem, again, is in the limitations of eInk itself. Ie, difficult to refresh, which is also its strength (allows for passive, no-power usage). @Jonathan: I agree. It’s more a novelty right now for me.

Also, there's no SD slot, and no function to organize your titles built-in. Just a few of my concerns.
