I went and bought an mp3 player because of this thread, it reminded me of the Zen Xtra I had and loved
So just 5 minutes ago I bought an archos XS202. Basically 20 gigs, plug and play and nice size. I was doubting between the the cheaper Zen Touch (I've had great experiences with Creative) but in the end archos won me over because of the plug and play feature.
Like I've sad a million times before, I wouldn't ever buy an iPod. Although the price seems to be reasonable, I think I'd go for a cowon (or samsung) if I wanted video + mp3.
But yeah the price does amaze me. Thumbs up for that. I'll be awaiting the reviews, I'm interested in what comes out.
