A mate of mines got one, tis bloody lurvely 
I don't think theres an official upgrade solution to a larger disk, but I guess in theory whats stopping you opening it up and slapping a larger disk in there?
That aside, they're dead easy to use, small and light - top stuff all in all

U can't just put a normal disc in to upgrade it anyway. Its special small ones. It prob costs about as much to buy the disc as it costs just to buy the larger 1 to start with.

You can buy a transmitter thats designed for the Ipod from the US.
It lets you tune your Ipod into radio fq! So you can tune your home stereo into your ipod. There illegal in the UK though, so you have to import them. Cool gadget tho.
