Gonk: I wouldn't be surprised if WMA pushed them to CE, it's one of M$'s classic marketing tactics. Of course, it begs the question: why WMA at all? There are quite a few perfectly good compression protocols already out there.

WMA makes me nervous, not just because of its connection to Microsoft, but also because of some rather suspect copy protection features built into it.

I'm going to stop now, lest this become a discussion on the comparative economics of the PC world, rather than a discussion of the IR1000's capabilities.
