New pmp help please!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hey everybody, I'm looking to get a new player. I currently have but am not using my sansa fuze, it's great but a bit too small screen wise for what I'm looking for, and just doesn't feel right with the scroll wheel.

Here are my specifications:

-16gb or more of storage
-decent battery life
-no crappy plasticy feel/sound to the physical device
-decent sized screen!
-ability to put books on it! Can't remember what they're called but I want to be able to have a few books in case i get stuck.
-flac support (optional)
-under 300$
-I prefer touch control but that's completely optional, don't really care as long as it fits the other criteria.

Thanks a lot, let me know if anything I said was unclear.

ebooks?  You'll need a player running android or iOS. Personally the ARCHOS 43 (4.3" high res screen) is high on my list for an android device.  For iOS your only choice is the iPod Touch (3.5" high res screen). $299 (or a little less) will get you one with 32gb of memory, as well as far more features than you've mentioned. $219 will get you a 16gb 43 with a microSD expansion slot.  Both allow downloading Kindle/Nook and similar apps, and the Touch has an iBooks app.

well the ipod would be out - no flac support. i have no knowledge of the archos so can't say anything there.

 

but the cowon j3 would meet everything but the ebooks support.
