Default OT: Need opinions for portable MP3 player

My VP just asked me for my reccomendations for a protable MP3 player. Any suggestions? What is the new one from Apple? Any good?

Default Apple: iPod, 1000 songs on a 5 gb hard disk, can use it as a backup device also, $399 small & unique

Pretty nifty and easy to use . . . if you have an Apple . . . don't know about support for Windows, if any yet

Default But isn't it only for Apples???

The bad: Somewhat pricey; must wait for third-party carrying cases; no support for Windows or Linux.

It's pricey 'cause it's 5 gigs of storage , and doubles as an ext. drive also. Windows in the works.

Beware! While the form factor is very cool, the sound quality when used in a tape deck sucks, there's no display on the unit and the UI stinks. Plus, it's only 32MB.

Default XPlay won't let you load songs from a PC

XPod will be out soon which will let you load songs onto the playlist from a PC. Have no fear, Apple will not win this one! =) I am waiting with baited breath for the Xpod software... mediafour is a well known name in Mac -&gt; PC conversions.
