I bought a 20GB Archos Studio 20 just after the first gen iPods were released. I don't have any regrets. It works great for what I need, it plays MP3s and can act as a USB hard drive. The nice (?) thing is that it is formatted using Fat32, so I can use it as a /home mount under Knoppix.

I still think it's a better buy compared to the iPod. It's about $200 cheaper for more comparable space. It's larger and heavier.

Since I've got it, I'm not running out to buy an iPod. If I didn't have anything I'd probably still buy the Archos, maybe the Zen. Apple is just too proud of their products, they charge too much IMO.
