Microsoft says the high quality and smaller size of Windows Media Audio and Video files will enhance the effective content capacity of the devices for storing. Users will sync their Portable Media Center devices with PC digital media content from their PCs so that they can listen to thousands of hours of music on the go, watch digitally recorded television shows, home movies or digital videos, and store and view digital photo albums.
According to Microsoft, Media2Go makes use of the following key Windows CE .NET functions:
Windows Media 9 Technologies:
Latest bundled and optimized multimedia codecs, including MP3, Windows Media Audio 9, and Windows Media Video 9
Digital Rights Management (DRM) support
Microsoft DirectX 8 technologies, including Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectSound, and DirectShow
Extensive built-in driver support, including USB 2.0
HDD mass storage support
Instant-on and advanced-power management functions
Real-time, pre-emptive multi-tasking kernel
Rich graphical and user interface subsystem

From what I've read elsewhere, the device's 20GB drive can store something like 100,000 images, 10,000 hours of songs, or a hundred full-length movies. Finally, a decent portable movie player, instead of those crap portable DVD machines.
Also they took out the display of "Windows integrated NSCAMLARHIK-TBW
(the National Security Crisis And Mass Looting And Rioting Home Install Kit- Triggered By Windows.) This is a fantastic achievement!!! Now, for the first time in recorded history, a rectangular object atop a shell can trigger WWIII!!! BRILLIANT!!!!

Not sure if it's for sale or just in development, but I know there's stores using the tech to automatically recommend matching articles to buy.
