Since it was local, I got one. I have to say I'm impressed. It has a speaker 
(ok for sampling something or sharing something in a quiet area), mini wall 
wart which has a usb connector for output power, cable, and a very thin unit. 
Plays music, video, jpegs, fm radio, records radio direct or voice through 
microphone, displays text files (ebooks), has an equalizer, soft power off AND 
real power slide switch, and the rechargable battery. It's not much bigger than 
the battery alone for my cell phone! And light as a feather.

The display is very bright and clear too. It is flash and not a hard drive 
inside. One would be hard pressed to build this for less money, that's for 
sure, parts alone. 4GB would be great, but I couldn't find that model anywhere. 
I'll bet if they priced it relative to this one, it wouldn't look so good 
competitively, and if they made the price similar, they'd sell those instead.

Oh, it also installed without added drivers and trash like the iPod, Sansa, 
etc, do.... And the transfer speed won't bother me - Vista doesn't read/write 
faster than that anyway!! :(
