Even though I think the point of this thread has been utilised, I say Ipod all the way, with its crystal screen, touchpad, and great chrome on white, it is simply the best over other ones, and of course for a cheaper one there is the ipod mini, of course now touch pad now but you still have 4GB and a tiny little unit, and colours to choose from, great reccomendation, is the ipod!

you'll have to convert your mp3's into sonys ATRAC3 format. not sure what that involves but it seems a bit pedantic on sonys part to insist on using their own format when nearly everyone else uses mp3. that is unless its a much better quality format but i've never used it so i don't know. anyone here know? also no radio but the s700 will have so probably won't need it anyway.

oh, i've heard of that. I dunno about sound quality by it is a different form of compression. Sony claims it enables you to fit 30 albums on 1 CD (for CD players not mp3 players).

Apple Introduces 4th Gen iPod
Apple's press release:
Apple today introduced the new iPod, the fourth generation of the world’s number one portable digital music player, featuring Apple’s patent pending Click Wheel, which combines the smooth and continuous scrolling of a touch-sensitive wheel with five push buttons for superior one handed navigation. The new iPod also features up to 12 hours battery life and Shuffle Songs, a new command in the main menu which gives users instant access to one of the most exciting new ways to listen to their music library. All iPods work effortlessly with Apple’s iTunes, providing music fans with the best digital jukebox on either a Mac or Windows computer and access to the iTunes Music Store, the number one digital music service in the world. The new iPod is available immediately in a 20GB model for $299 and a 40GB model for $399.
“The best digital music player just got better,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “The fourth generation iPod features Apple’s amazing Click Wheel for superb one handed control, 12 hour battery life and the new Shuffle Songs command in the main menu—all in an even smaller design that puts up to 10,000 songs in your pocket.”
“HP has chosen iPod and iTunes as the best products to integrate in to our digital entertainment strategy,” said Carly Fiorina, chairman and chief executive officer at HP. “We decided to wait for this amazing new fourth generation iPod, as it will offer our customers an even better experience. HP’s version of the new iPod will be available in September.”
iPod features Apple’s patent pending Auto-Sync technology that automatically downloads an entire digital music library onto iPod and keeps it up-to-date whenever it is plugged into a Mac or Windows computer using FireWire or USB. Users can transfer two songs per second from their Mac or Windows computer and can now conveniently charge iPod with either the included FireWire or USB cable.
The new 20GB and 40GB iPods are available immediately for a suggested retail price of just $299 (US) for the 20GB iPod and $399 (US) for the 40GB iPod through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. Both iPods include earbud headphones, 1.2m 30-pin to FireWire cable, a 1.2m 30-pin to USB cable, and a CD with iTunes 4.6 for Mac and Windows computers. The 40GB model also includes an iPod dock.
40 gb and that small!!!

i'm not that impressed by the new ipod. but that being said its still an ipod and those thinkin of getting one will get one no matter what people say against or for it (nokia syndrome i think its called). i decided on the iAudio M3L and its a very good player. it quite sony looking in design which means very slick also its solidly built, full of features and the battery lasts for ages (hasn't ran out yet). i don't think its an ipod killer but will definatly appeal to a lot of people.
