Comes with 512MB ram and has an internal upgrade slot for SD flash cards. I will be adding a 1 Gb card. With 1.5 Gb I can have a complete audio book, several podcasts and quite a few music files! No skipping good sound quality. So so FM reception. I live in a strong signal area so the stations I listen too come in fine. Compact and comes with an armband that would work fine on a treadmill.

I saw an iRiver 1 gig flash player in the paper, and that is the one I am leaning towards, but the iRiver 5 gig model and Creative's Zen line both are quite appealing.

I have an iRiver that has given me no problems. On the larger models, I like the creative models -- they seem to give good bang for the buck, and have pretty high ratings overall. I don't own one, but looked at them a couple months back. Dell is in the market and has gotten good reviews, but I know very little about them. I can't say one way or the other on the iPod, except I think you pay a bit of a premium for the branding -- which is one reason I was looking at the Creative models. the “flash” memeory types usually go under 1 gig, but I like them for working out — no skipping and practically shock-proof. 512 might be big enough for those (100-120 songs at a time in MP3 format).

Mosey over later if you have time. I’ve been wondering about this kind of stuff too, and was going to ask you (kept forgetting). Mosey over later if you have time.
