hey bruce, yes. bp does take those files. also, another point for the bp is the fact that APH are actively doing betas. daizy format was just implemented for the courier last month, when it was promised a year or more ago. that's why i'm willing to pay the few extra dollars for the bp, because the list is so active, and it seems that APH works hard to squash bugs and implement suggestments. as for the hard disk, i don't see that happening any time soon, and it would drive the price and the size up for the bp. radio, possibly, although this would also drive the price up, and require hardware modification. brandon
