Well, a picture won't give you the size either, unless I put it next to
something of known size (like a ruler).  I do have a digicam, but I
think my wife's got it right now.

The Neuros with the hard drive attached is 13 cm long, 8 cm wide and 3 cm
tall.  If I'm holding it in my hand, I can't hold much else.  It could
fit in a good-sized pocket.  It seems to weigh somewhere around 8 ounces
(240 g), by comparing it to some cans in the kitchen, but I'm pretty
bad at guessing weights.

Yes, it's much larger than the "new" players that are arriving on the
market now (I saw some of them in a store here).  But I bought mine for
use in a car, so the size is not an issue for me.

That's correct.  The player itself (the silver part) has no fixed
storage, so you must have it attached to either the hard drive "backpack"
or the smaller Flash component that can be clipped to a belt.
