Philips’ iPod clone, the 15GB HDD100, is finally set to come out here in the US. It’s perplexing that given all of the advantages that Sony, Philips, Samsung, and all the other massive consumer electronics companies have over Apple, that none of them have been able to come out with a player that can seriously rival the iPod in terms of size, weight, capacity, and design. The HDD100 isn’t bad, but it really should have come out last year when we would have cared.
