I'm still rockin' my 512MB Sandisk Sansa (yes it's expandable to 1.5G, and I have several 1.0G cards for it). It's easy as pie to operate, plugs n' plays to everything, and for the amount of abuse it's taken, I can't believe it hasn't died yet. When it does die, I think I'm going to replace it with the Sansa View, and I'm not concerned with having 20-80 Gigs in the palm of my hand...I have a 2G card in my LG Shine, and I have enough memory in my Laptop that I don't need another personal device.

I keep being told by the people that work at electronics stores that the Upper-end Sansa's, Samsungs and creative ZEN's are actually superior to the i-stuff in terms of user friendliness, reliability, and plug n' play connectivity...
