hmm...I myself own a IHP-100 from Iriver. great. 10 GB of any kind of files(it's recognized by windows as a mass storage device, if you will, an external hard drive).
You browse through your audio files just like you browse through explorer. files, folders...
I didn't have to install the driver. It was automatically recognized by windows.
pretty cool stuff that made me choose it over the ipod...it is able to play most type of audio files...(iPod can't even read WMAs.)...It has a AM/FM radio tuner in it, and a microphone...
also a second line-in, and optical lines in and out.
approx. same size as the 40 Gig iPod, with more stuff...
there's also a 20 Gig version available.
and I think iPod is too cliche...everyone on the subway, in the street, evrywhere, has it, but I wonder why...
the bass sounds awful on it(the earphones fart in your ears), you can't upload from your iPod to a computer, you have to use iTunes...
bleh. I don't like it.
My friend had the Lyra...pretty cool, nifty and small machine. I like it too...
well...Iriver makes cool stuff and are coming out with even cooler stuff..so check out their site for mp3 players of all shapes and sizes.
