Greenhouse intros pocket-friendly 1GB Kana D DAP
Greenhouse is apparently taking a break from TV tuners and USB ashtrays to update its wee Kana-SD MP3 player, this time giving it a more refined look, a (tiny) LCD screen, and removing the "S" from the nameplate. The Kana D touts a 1.12- x 3.27- x 0.87-inch enclosure, USB 1.1 connectivity, USB-stick design, 1GB of storage, about seven hours of battery life from a single AA battery, and six pre-packaged EQ settings. The unit comes in black, white, or blazing red color schemes, plays nice with Windows, and supports both MP3 and WMA. Best of all, the pocketable DAP can be had for just €39 ($52) when it drops later this month.

greenhouse does make some interesting products...but will they EVER be available to us here in the states. they have a nicely designed speaker system for the mac mini...but NOT available to the states!!! can't even order it on-line. i actually had some email communications with them where they "said" they were looking for a united states' representative...still looking i guess!

USB 1.1 in this age? I mean its really not a big deal if it is only 1GB...but still, 2.0 has been out for half a decade guys...

Re mchang227, what's your problem? Many people have PCs that are older than "half a decade." I recently gave away a PC that's NINE years old and still working perfectly fine. It's not unreasonable to expect that there are still a good number of people out there who still have USB 1.1. Don't strive so hard to be Hip and Cool that you become irrational.

except for the fact that a 2.0 device works for both 1.1 and 2.0 slots. And in the latter case is like 50x faster or some such. A 1.1 device will "work" for both types of slots, but there's no speed benefit.
Seeing as how if the device were USB 2.0, it would still work on your nine year old computer AND be much faster on a computer released within the last five, mchang's point is that it doesn't make any sense for the device NOT to be USB 2.0.
