Review:
I've had the smaller 2GB version since last October, which saw a renaissance in my appreciation of music. I'm probably one of the older MP3 'players', but this little beauty has helped me listen to more music than I have previously in 25years. Cheap flash memory makes the unit even more flexible, as does an FM transmitter to play my own radio station in the car - great listening time and no boring dj chat!
I chose san disk as I didn't want to follow the crowd (and the fact that my son experienced problems with a 'frozen' Ipod) nor be tied to Itunes. The video/picture function, apart from allowing me family photos, is little used. I find the music quality great, but not with the headphones supplied and battery life is great. I just wish these beauties had been around 30 years ago!!
Congratulations San Disk

Philips GoGear Muse
Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface
Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB)
Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB)
Lack of a camera is disappointing, but this is a truly excellent media player in almost all other respects
