Ipod are totally over-rated I recon. In terms of value for money, their shit IMO.

Also 15 Gb, 20 Gb, 40 Gb ... who ever needs 40 Gb of storage space on a portable music player? Thats about 11,000 songs. About 27 days of continuous music...

I just got a 128 Mb player off ebay,,, Ł15! + P&P = Ł24.
But i think 256 Mb or 512 Mb would be better really if your gonna use it a lot.

did you get it imported from hong kong steve? any problems with customs on the way into the country?

also do you know how many songs a 256MB can cope with?

cheers, Matt

for the same price as ipod, you can get stuff from Archos that will also play video, and is usually bigger.

who needs 40GB? depends how you use it. if you use it as a portable hard disk to store all your mp3's on, even 40GB is not enough. and if you got plenty of videos on it too....

the samller ones are all well and good, but you've got to keep plugging it in to you pc to reload stuff on it, or you'll soon get bored of listening to the same thing over and over.
