It is really a nice device with all the features that I wanted (although, I wish it had a bigger screen placed horizontally across the device...like the Archos AV400 or AV500). But then again, it doesn't have the price tag of the Archos

It's still fantastic! I'm still enjoying all the features I mentioned earlier. The new one I am really lovin in the FLAC format I'm ripping all my cd's to. It's better than .mp3 in that it's losless. When the file gets compressed, it doesn't remove any of the data like mp3's do. iAudio is the only Mp3 player manufacturer that I'm aware of that supports it. Bottom line is that you'll love it

! btw, I know Ron is waiting for the 60gb version too

yup, i'm also waiting for a different vendor than ecost to carry it, they're a very very fly-by-night outfit, you either have a great experience with them or they screw you.

Thanks for the heads up on ecost. I was reading up on their return policy (just in case the thing DOA on me) and it seems like they will make jump through all sorts of hoops before granting you an RMA.

Read their reviews from resellerratings.com http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1932.html they're pretty bad.

I didn't realize that

. They were the cheapest hands down and I got my player in 2 days with no problems. I called them up for a question and everything was smooth

. Gluck with you purchases.

yup, sometimes they're great, other times, not so much.... hit or miss. Glad you were the former.
