- i use an iPod, Cowan iAudio G3, and Sandisk Sansa M230... the most flexible (operating system agnostic) and longest-running is the G3 - a truly remarkable piece of hardware... however, i use the M230 more often than the others as i view it as a lightweight, and if damaged, disposable device (got mine for about $30)... expect mp3 players to be cheap and plentiful in the near future as Sandisk and other manufacturers will be flooding the market with increasingly cheaper high-capacity flash-based devices...
- features i like about the G3 and M230:
replaceable batteries (G3 - AA; m230 - AAA)
good battery life (G3 - 50 hrs; m230 - 19 hrs)
light weight
easy controls (G3 uses a micro-joystick)
good performance (equalizer, presets, etc.)
date/time (G3)
FM reception (G3 and m230)
data storage (all)
FM, line in, and voice recording (only on G3)
protective case included (yes for G3 and m230)
works with any operating system
