I still don;t get why people judge JUST the player. The software is jsut as important.

I certainly take this into account, and consider it a feature. Iaudios and Irivers give you the benefit of choice. No proprietary software needed, just plug them into a USB port and they're recognized as a hard drive. Put music on them with any file manager and they play it. :thumbsup:

Photo or not.
Long battery life (def. > 10 hours under fairly constant use, haven't tried to run it down yet though, probably close to the 16 they claim though)

What they should do is try as much softwre as they can, find the one they like best, and then ask for advice.

Most of my friends have iPods and are very happy with them. I'm impressed by the iPod's fit and finish. You'll be happy with an iPod and the mountain of accessories available for it.
But if you're intersted in the most features for the buck, look at iRiver and the Creative Zen.
If you're a U2 fan, check out the iPod Special U2 Edition.
