Okay, I have to go on record first by saying that I think the Tungsten X moniker is very cool. Makes me want one of these even more.
As I was reading all the comments about the X today, I came across this at PocketFactory:
Pocketfactory: LifeDrive Isn’t LifeDrive After all: “On the downside, Brighthand is also reporting the new product will likely ship with NormSoft’s Pocket Tunes media player, which is a horrible piece of amateurware if I do say so myself, in place of Real Network’s RealOne Player. What a shame.”
Kent, are you serious? Pocket Tunes is miles ahead of Real’s lame “mailed in” Palm OS player. Pocket Tunes supports Ogg, WMA, playlists, bookmarks, streaming, skins… Need I go on? Bundling Pocket Tunes is the first real sign I’ve seen that PalmOne is taking media seriously with the X and it gives them a built-in way to handle streaming media the way RealPlayer should and doesn’t.
