1. Portable product without case and belt is a nonsense,2. Crashes my XP every second time I am trying to connect. Tested on various machines with the same negative results. All most up-to-date software downloaded from Creative's site. If XP crashes, it crashes so badly that the only way to restart is to pull the plug. I have never seen any other program that would cause such a crash. I don't even know how it is possibleWait until Creative converts this stuff into product.
