depend if you need a small display and/or fm radio and/or replaceable battery ... The shuffle does not have any of those ... but it still looks cool.

Depends on what you want. The shuffle is durable, sounds great, and is very simple to use. If you want something that allows you to use playlists and search through your songs, you'll need a screen and may want to go for $250 on an iPod mini 4GB which is also durable, sounds great, and is easy to use. IMO - if you're using an MP3 player, there's no need for an FM tuner since you have all your good music with you and most radio stations stink this day in age. As far as batteries go, an iPod is one of your best options. Changable batteries wind up just being a pain. The per-charge battery life on the new models of iPods is amazing (and by many accounts longer than Apple reports).

The only thing that stinks about not having a tuner is that you miss out on talk radio. I love listening to Sports talk radio and wish I could get an AM/FM tuner for my Dell Axim. I am looking at getting satillite radio (sirus) when they have the handheld, but it wont work in my office building and it will just be another thing I have to carry around :(
There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We shouldn't assume something's debugged just because everyone in the whole world has access to the source code.

Audible carries many talk shows as well as printed periodicals that you can download and play (subscription fees apply). The Griffin RadioShark is $70 for the hardware, and uses regular radio. It will record radio shows on AM/FM at specified times and let you transfer them to your MP3 player.

The Rio Carbon[^] is pretty sexy. Bigger HD than the iPod mini, and sounds better too. It supports the USB Mass Storage Class, so you drag and drop your MP3 files straight across to the player in Windows Explorer, without having to use iTunes or any other music manager. There seems to be a rebate on at the moment, and they've got a 6GB player coming out soon. That's what I'd go for. Jon
