I'm looking for a portable music device with 160GB+ storage (compatibility with large SD card could be an option), good battery life, great sound, can play FLAC/OGG files. I won't be using it much for web browsing / watching videos, but it would be a bonus.
The 2 best options I have found so far are the Cowon X7 and the Archos 48. The X7 seems SO CLOSE to the perfect device for me as it has great battery life, sound, format compatibility, but I am afraid of the firmware issues (database upgrade error) and it seems unnecessarily bulky. The Archos 48 is my #2 right now but the battery life is not as good and it doesn't have the EQ settings like the X7 does.
I really want to pull the trigger on the X7 but surely there must be some newer models coming out with high capacities. Does anyone know of anything?
