Hey guys - (been awhile since i was last year - went off travelling)


I have a bit of a dilemma.

I want to get my girlfriend an MP3 player. The criteria are as follows:

1. Needs to be at least 20GB
2. Colour screen
   
   Preferably
3. black & small
   
   not necessary
4. Can play AAC
5. >10 hours battery

I thought the Sony Vaio would be perfect but it's ugly (I adore it)

At the moment i think she wants an photo ipod, but there are loads of better HD players, right?

Thanks guys

An iAudio X5 sounds like a good match for you.

Woah, very nice. Thanks for the info...

Slightly expensive though....

dude, i really appreciate everyone helping. My comment was meant to be against the iPod U2 (i dislike U2) - not against your advice as it does meet the requirement perfectly. Thanks man.

Guys, i'm also in the UK so i think shipping from the US will kill me.

Thanks for all the help though, really appreciated!


She loves the iAudio X5...i'm thinking a monthly payment as i can't afford £250 straight up

We may have a winner. She likes it, as the iAudio is too expensive for my student self, this looks brilliant.

BTW, does it play AAC or any firmware updates that could support?

p.s - what's going on with the site? it looks really crazy!

Hmmm, i read somewhere that iriver navigation is 'flimsy' and they are dying.... Can anyone support this?
