Looks like we have something in common

Except I like iTunes.......I just think the iPod is way overrated.

Samsung I hear are quite good, but I would recommend Sony's Network Walkman mp3/attrac3+ player. The 20gb version of the Network Walkman offers 40+ hours battery life, removeable lithium battery (so you can buy another battery for long trips). I have bought 2 ipods (20gb and new 6gb mini) and found the battery life for both are below average when compared to Sony's one. Also I find the wheel frustrating at times as it does not always select the song I'm aiming for (and it's not just me coz my friends compain about the same thing. Judge for yourself though.

Enough babbling. Here's the link :-
