iAudio G3 2gb (by COWON; never heard of them? Well netither did I until I started research MP3 players. They make great products). Excellent quality in sound, light weight, and best of all it is flash drive. Perfect for jogging. If you want to read some great reviews on it go to Amazon.com and read their customer reviews.

I have the Creative MuVu 100 and it is another nice little 2 gb flash MP3.

I got a Creative MuVo v100 1GB back in December for $30. A great deal. It needs no cables to connect to a computer, no software required outside of Windows Explorer, and uses 1 AAA, which lasts up to 18 hours.

My mini-review of a Sandisk Sansa e130

It's my first flash-based MP3 player; my previous MP3 player was a CD-MP3 player. It has 512MB built-in, but can take a Secure Digital card of up to 2GB.


Short review: The e130 works. I don't particularly like its navigation method, and I think it has too few buttons, but I have no basis for comparison. I've also never used an iPod, or even held one to test its file navigation or playlist creation capabilities.

Though that Creative MuVo v100 looks nice. I just wanted something that accepted SD cards. I don't exactly remember why though. :eek:

For the money the Sandisk Sansa e2X is pretty nice. Interface isn't anywhere as refined as the Ipods, but the versatility, battery life, and bang for buck is excellent.

Worth a look.

It's just a shame that they max out at 1 gig.

Sandisk Sansa.

You can usually find very good deals on those. Sansa also offers FM, expandable SD or Micro-SD, very nice design, battery life and small size.

Sandisk is also very good with RMA's and the like!

Yea I was thinking of the Sansa E280 on sale or something.

But that Meizu looks pretty tempting and it's gotten some decent reviews.

I dunno, any more and I'd want a screen to navigate most likely.

That new Zen Stone is quite interesting... half the price of the shuffle, crazy. but definitely not as sexy ;)

I third/fourth/whateverth the sansa's.. at least to look at. great value. but for mainly jogging/exercising, I personally would stick w/ something like the shuffle/stone.
