Also I think that it is a great idea to add a SD reader instead of the CF, really makes a great difference in the storage size. It is also a nice feature that the battery is able to play for that long time. This device looks great like almost all of Creatives other products.

The new iPods are amazing as far as the portable media market is concerned. For instance, the 160 GB iPod/ MP3 player/ Video Player/ Photo Viewer/ Video Games/ Rolodex/ Audiobook reader/ International Clock and what might just be one of the smallest external non ac powered external hard drives out there, what else do you people want? Maybe it should guess what music you like and then hire the artist to play at your next birthday.

ECA- Like Improbus, smaller is better for the main reason, portability. I have owned Archos players, and love them btw.. 8. The flash based players cant be beat for their battery life.

I have several and I've bought one for almost every member of my family. My last purchase was a Vision:M about a year ago. While it was a good purchase at the time I can't imagine buying one today. Creative seems to have completely abandoned its hard drive players in favor of its flash-based line. While this may be fine for Joe Schmoe, those of us with serious music collections (think 120GB) have nowhere left to go but the ipod classic. This is just terribly disturbing.

I suspect the Archos you are talking about is a lot more expensive than $100. I have seen some of the Archos products and I owned one of their Jukeboxes at one point. The reason I got a small player like this was to take it exercising. Try that with an Archos. How much does it cost ECA? I suspect the Archos you are talking about is a lot more expensive than $100.
