I had high hopes we'd see this around fall of last year, and now I wonder if we'll see it at all! -Matt Jeppsen The last time I spoke with Bella about this (about 4 months ago) it sounded like they had hit some major engineering issues and were either having to start over from the beginning or perhaps scrap the project entirely.

It is, for all intents and purposes a DTE (direct to edit) device much like the Focus Enchancement devices (FS-3, FS-4, etc.). Congratualtions goes out to them! They are one of the few companies to attempt this. You see, Focus had this (DTE) market cornered with their device(s) (and were charging anywhere from $650-$1700). I'm a videographer and for the $300 price tag (which is less than HALF the amount of Focus' lowest device the FS-4), I'll pick one up. However, trying to sell this as an Ipod accessory might prove to be their downfall (especially if it is BUGGED). NOTE TO BELLA: Make sure it works or your Customer Service Department will get destroyed with emails, phone calls and horrible posts/reviews on websites by rabid Ipod users. This could have a lasting affect on your company (and possibly keyboard sales)!

I had a 1st gen 5gb ipod that i dropped twice onto the ground while biking (at speed) and it continued to work fine, until it was stolen. I have a 3rd gen, mini and nano, all work great despite my abuse. rick I have found them to be very robust.
