Well i've got a buddy whose bday is comin up. thinkin to get a few friends to buy him one as he seems to really want one. i'm kinda 'out' in mp3 lpayers...so maybe you guys could help me out:


- DURABLE (he'll throw it around much)

- will last quite long (like my 2 year old zen touch! not like an ipod. no offence but ipods always screw up in my eyes)

- pretty portable (zen touch is too big definately..)

- kinda simple. not too hard to use/navigate


so basicaly not an ipod (he doesnt like em, dont flame me! ahha) and durable are teh most improtant points. i guess that means flash drive? not as easy to break/screw up

i guess storage space, the more the better, but i guess he needs like...well he will do ok with 1 GB (if change songs around time to time) , good with 4 GB, and more than enough with 20.

thanks guys!
