omg, lol. i should say that when i go to apple store, not payin 30 bucks to ship it when it 30 min away

Pay to ship something that doesnt work - I don't think so ;)

lol

Hmm... I don't think choosing an MP3 over another because of style is inappropriate. We could all drive a 1980's Subaru or Honda, but some of us may choose to drive a newer or more "sexy" or "stylish" car because we can afford it.

Does it mean that the more stylish car will always be more reliable? No - Otherwise Porsche and other "sexy" car manufactureres would never sell a thing!

Just a thought.

"...But...nano's have the "style" advantage which is something strong."

No, it is not. It is something totally superficial and worthless.

Or was that sarcasm?

style is something strong. style is was gave the ipod it's original advantage. now if there's something that can steal it away, i'm all for it :-)

This Sandisk player can be had for around $80 right now. Add a 2Gb SD card for $30 or $40. Do the math.

Yeah that looks alot like one of the early ipods. only with bigger buttons.

If style is not why Ipod is selling so well, then what is? There are so many competitors (good brands) that are offering much better deals and yet it's the ipod that gets bought. Explain that!

Sad I bought my wife a pink Ipod Nano 4gb knock off for $73.00 off ebay brand new and they throw in a 1 year warrenty....and it dosnt need Itune and it plays video... then for $202.00 I bought a 30gb Digital Cube I-Station I2 it dose everything its even a firewire drive ,plays video mp3 and it has a touch screen you can draw on with the paint program , but the best is it records fm radio to mp3 format.. so thease guys have to either do a whole lot more or lower that price...

wow amazing

I like sandisk i had a 1gig stick that got lost at work. they make great flash drives and would do a good job with this. You never know it may not have to with all that DRM crapp either.

I already have 2 sandisk players,i think i will sell both of them and get this one since it looks so appealing.....

Berge:
Good point!!! I'll stick with my RCA Lyra. It's been a good MP3 player and got a good colseout price on it and never had a problem with it. And it's a 20 GB model and still works great!!! LOL to everyone else!!!

Lol i have a 40 GB Lyra that i will never let go....i got it when it was like 350 before the Ipods came out, and its about the size of a HD but it has never failed me...the only problem was its size which is why i had to buy my other 2 sandisks..

S3a it's real simple "marketing" once a couple of bone heads buy one and brag about it that's all everyone they know wants blindly buying themselves an iPod. Why do people STILL think MAC's are simple, which was true in the old days, when in fact they are not they are just like a IBM compatibles as far as problems, and in fact maybe worst. Kids are exposed to them from early on in school so that's all they learn and are comfortable with, it's a no brainer. Style always enters in though.

wonder what ipod is going to do to counter this

Nothing i think this is a little overpriced only 4 Gigs for $250 you can get the 30 Gig Ipod Video for cheaper than that if you look(Ebay)....i dont know how they r cutting out the middle man and still have something so expensive

here to all that want to see a" 4gb mp4 player " thats what you need to type in to find the right product. also this is a random listing but it had a buy it now price that was under $60.00 so have fun finding the one you want I bought one from a guy in California and like I said my wife loves it and she's carried it for 2 months now with out an issue...remmber this is ebay so watch out for shipping and the sellers feedback but hey I got mine again for the wife in pink.. long befor thease guys even thought of going to 4gb and hers will play windows media and DivX files.. so happy hunting but better deals are out their.
here that sample listing I found not 5 mins ago...
