add value
Yeah, one should also consider the added value of this unit, compared to the others. that of a flash memory storage device
Since it is flash based, with a USB2.0 connector on it, one can just plug it into a laptop or computer and use it for storage to store files, transfer data, etc.
With 512MB flash memory devices costing 45-65$ ALONE, adding an MP3 player from for 30-40$ more from APPLE is a STEAL!!
Granted, this cuts down on the number of songs one can store, but it is still value add in my book.
In a year, they will be 2GB for 129$. I'll buy one then
