I love having my tiny little Conwon U2. It's the size of a lighter, tough as nails, amazing battery life and plays almost anything (except AAC). What drives me nuts is how much Ipod specific stuff there is out there. I can plug any apple mp3 player into my car and control it from the dash but can I even get a line in for my stereo noooo, that would be too difficult. WTF?

... also got a zenstone this past summer. size and shape and everything about it is great but i hate how it doesn't play anything other than .mp3 or wma

ooo ya, at the time i bought it too, it was significantly cheaper than the shuffle, plus mine was 2gig ^_^

@Out2gtcha: I totally agree. The only time I use my MP3 player is when I workout or run. Otherwise it just sits in the old junk drawer.

@Zeasar: I bought my Zen Stone at Circuit City last year for a little over $30 and the arm band was a little under $20 so my total was $50 and change. Every place I looked, Circuit City, Best Buy, and BJ's (it's like Costco), the iPod shuffle was selling for $75. Maybe I could have gotten a better price ordering online, but I wanted it that day.

yeah, the voice was grating on me as well... had to reach for the volume before the ol' ear drums began their plasmatic dribbling.

Not sure on sound quality, or size or cost difference but it looks like these would be great for skipping across a pond. Of course if you had throw away money ipods would skip nicely as well.

Maybe I'm just old.........nah. I guess I really just don't give a shit about having music WHEREVER I go, to warrant having an ipod/small MP3 player.

@Zeasar:
it probably was when he bought it.

my e280 was $180 new, about 8 months ago - they can be had for under $80 now, so I also get a lot of strange looks when I tell people I bought it because it was cheaper than a 2GB nano

@baltwade:

So a 1GB zen stone ($33.85) + armband ($??) is $25 cheaper then a 1GB ipod shuffle ($49)?

They look a little bigger than my Zen Stone, which by the way, I love. These little player are perfect for running or the gym. I'll never understand why people would want to run with a brick strap to their arm. I was going to get a shuffle, but the Zen Stone with armband was $25 less.

Would anyone in the US even want one of these? Maybe some hip 20 year old girl, but I can't think of any other target audience for this sort of thing.
