Looks ain't everything, though. Very true. I'm sure Pamela Anderson will agree with you in another 20 years.

Im not talking about a memory stick. Here, check it out for yourself
Sony PSP Hard Drive by Datel
You know that a larger one in the same size package will be out before too long as well. PSP is the sleeper candidate to dominate this market, in my humble opinion...JFK

Did not know they had made a hard drive for them. Then I digress if they can make bigger capacity models at a fairly cheap cost then you are correct.

The iRiver H10 is one hell of a unit for up to $100 less than an iPod and it has no proprietary file format bunk to deal with.Wrong. The iRiver plays WMA files which is no less DRM-infested "proprietary file format bunk" than the AAC files of the iPod.
Both the iRiver and iPod play DRM-free MP3s so that cancels the WMA and AAC stuff out.

Both the iRiver and iPod play DRM-free MP3s MP3 is what I meant but didn't express too clearly. My reference was to the M4P files that iTunes offers.

Yes but whether you download from iTunes, Napster or any of the "legit" download services, you are going to end up with a DRM-infested file. It is not fair to punish Apple for their AAC (MP4) files when you get the same DRM crap in the Microsoft WMA files that the other services offer up.

The iPod also works with the 360.
Looks may not be everything, but for the real target demographic of the iPod it is pretty close. Who wants something else when on a college campus you ain't anybody without an iPod?

I download MP3s encoded direct from CD from
AllOfMP3.com.
Very inexpensive (2 cents per Mb) and totally legal. Their library is huge.
I have never bothered with WMA or any other format. I either rip my own CDs to MP3 or download them that way.
