havent seen yet, but if they are, possibly will cost $200+

Price per gig ratio on solid state players is pretty steep.

Actually, does anyone know if there is a flash mp3 player that will allow me to expand to 1gb or 2gb secure digital cards that already come with 1gb memory.

Is there anything wrong with actually getting an ipod mini and using an armband while using the elliptical machine? I know its not for exercise but what are the chances something will go wrong?

I run with my HD player on a tread mill I am sure if you put it in the cup holder or whatever holder it has you will be fine.

I was thinking of getting this player from Newegg.com (for 139) Is datavisioncomputer honest/reliable? I've never had problems with Newegg.

Ellipitcal machine is no impact. you not have an issue. and most machines should/do have at least one cup holder.

When I took my old ipod to the gym Id just rest on the book rail.

But it was featured in techbargains.com; they usually post realiable sites.

Its 4 GB but It might be a microdrive and not CF


It says 4 Gigabyte (GB), 1 inch, Compact Flash Type II

I dont know if its a moving hard drive or a FLASH Drive?
ONLY $200 now, $250 before, I just bought one off of someone, gay thing is, he didnt have his charger, and eBay dont got it, and Gateway wants $100 for the base, USB, and Camera Adapter, it isnt even on there site

iaudio G3 will have a 2 gig flash memory. I have the 1 gig right now and has been using it for 2 weeks and it's awesome! It uses AA so battery life is much better than one uses AAA, but the G3 is very small. Only brand I know that has BBE. Search iaudio or jetaudio at Cnet for reviews.
