MP3 CD player. Holds 700 MB of MP3s...

How about this one?

How much smaller is the iRiver flashram device compared to the iPod or the iRiver HD equivalent? You can buy a 40GB iRiver HD mp3 player for the same amount as the iRiver 1GB flashram one...

Get a 256mb muvo2 off of ebay for around $100. They are just as good if not better than a lot of players and you will save about $50. They have great sound quality and good batt life. Check them out.

Honestly I would not even consider one that is only 256mb. 256mb?!?! Go mow some yards and get a dell dj or a few more and get that 60gb nomad.

That's like asking. "What is the best computer for me?"

The answer is, "It depends. What are you going to use it for? What features do you want?"

Jogging -> Flash-based

Walking/car/home/office - Hard-drive based or CD-based

Well I got a iRiver iFP-890 256Mb at Best Buy last night.
