Much better for Ricoh to have looked for another unique name.
Or not. If it works, well... from Ricoh's PoV, it's a win.
Remember AMD's Athlon XP and Nvidia's Detonators XP ? All of that because of Windows XP...
Just about the same stuff
That being said, I hear HD music so much better, an MP3/AAC/OGG is no go and even uncompressed CD 24/44.1 seems almost low end to me.
Not everything HD is crap although it is, of course, overblown.
