MP3 Players > $150 - $200 MP3 Players

Advantages: Durability, versatility
Disadvantages: Not quite as "cute" as some of the newer types

As someone who appreciates functionality over style, the iPod 30 GB in white was just the thing I was looking for. It could be considered kind of... chunky by some, especially if you're looking for something small and cute as opposed to larger and more functional, but if you just need a place to store your music, then this iPod is the way to go. Music, video, podcasts, photos-- you name it, this iPod can hold it. The only downside? With only 30 GB ...
...longer movies, full TV shows, or more than about 4000 songs. As far as durability goes, this particular iPod is built like a small tank. I don't encourage dropping it repeatedly, but it's more than able to hold up to a few bumps and bruises. Unlike the newer iPod nanos, you don't have to worry about breaking it if you roll over in the night. Unfortunately, the slightly larger size makes it take up more space in your bag or backpack, but all in all ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Hip
Disadvantages: Screen to small, Headphones not the best

...all the Ipod's are overated. Apple is a good company, but I just dislike the Ipod. The way many people look at the Ipod is an accessory that makes you look cool and hip. There have been many people saying that if you want to show off to society you should buy the Ipod, but if you want sound quality you should search for something better. I agree with that statement. I'm not saying that the Ipod is a bad device, I'm just pointing out that there's ...
...with the basic design. The Apple Ipod Nano follows the same format as the previous Ipods, except this one is smaller and is able to play videos in higher quality. The one thing I don't like is that the screen is so small! I won't be able to stand watching a fifteen minute movie on that thing. There is a Sony Walkman that is very good in sound quality and video quality (has a bigger screen as well). The headphones are not the best out there. They're ... Read review

Advantages: Good playback, nice design
Disadvantages: Bit pf a copy on the Ipod which is smaller, with more capabilities.

My friend has this Sansa and I have used it many times, on one occasion I borrowed it! It was very neat and pleasing to use. The screen is very nice and clear, although maybe not up to the ipod quality. The scroll wheel in the centre resembles the ipod in many ways, however I feel it is a failed attempt at copying the ipod signature design! The 4GB memory is very decent, its great for storing all the music and pictures, even audiobooks a person ...
...the ipods fiddly itunes program for uploading music, it is simply drag and drop from your documents. This is also handy if your computer crashes, because your music is backed up on the Sansa. The headphones weren't amazing, I couldn't really put them in my ears properly, so I had to use my own in ear ones, which are much better. This product is great for the money my friend paid, I was seriously considering getting one myself, but I eventually chose ... Read review

Advantages: portable, lots of memory
Disadvantages: nagating through menu

I purchased this Apple IPod nano with 8 GB May of 2008. the features are great, you can spend alot of time filling this iPod with photos, videos, music podcasts, and lots of other stuff. The one drawback is the battery life is not that great. It comes with a usb cable to recharge the battery using your pc, which is very convenient. I have loaded about 540 of my favorite songs on it so far. Navagating the volume feature is tricky for a first time ... Read review

Advantages: Sandisk Support Team, 3 Colors, Holds up to 1000 songs, Charge It
