Get a PDA!!

dell axim X5 £165 ish

add in a 256 (60 ish) sd card or bigger

voila , and you get a pocket pc to boot,

if you go this route, you can add more tunes by changing cards


the other alternative is the smartphone route,, find one ex contract and

change to payg

i,ll check if my old smartphone can do it

Depends what you want. Try www.iwoot.com I got a nice little USB "key" mp3 player from there. Small, reasonable sound, handy for swapping files between computers etc

You might find a Creative Zen 20GB knocking around for 170-ish? Most have gone and only stock the 30, 40, 60GB. Bulky, but incredible storage.

Since when was a Creative Zen solid state?

Personally, I'd have a look at www.ihavetohave.it
I have the mpio FY200

Carl



is the zen a h/d that stores mp3,s? or is it memory chips..

i presume the ipod is not solid state??

still reckon a pda is the best route to go

Well unless the Zen has at least 5x 4MB CF cards, which would be ludicrously expensive, I reckon it's a HD.

Brendan Hughes

Oops, sorry carl, I think you're right there...

angrynorth

Mart, you are right iPodmini is HD based. Although IMO that is by far the best suggestion yet

mart360

Agree ipod is good for what it does,

but thats all it does..

a pda can do the same and more

and with the price of sd cards falling they are more attractive,

each to there own though
