But the interface was a pain at times. I also liked the idea of "drag and drop" onto the player, which the H10 and the free software I mentioned earlier does quite nicely.I have NEVER used an online store (including iTunes, where, as Steel Wind pointed out the music itself is "iPod specific") and, to be honest, I do not foresee my using one in the future.Techno ... I have used a Palm E2 to play mp3 files ... it basically plays off of an external card you insert into the top of the pda. The sound quality I got was not bad and I think I got almost 18 hours playback time! (Of course part of the whole "schtick" of the E2 is it's long battery life.) The biggest card the E2 can take is a 1gb card, I believe. But hey, I guess you could have a couple of them if you wanted. I didn't.I went with an mp3 player because I have LOTS of audio files ... mostly books and lectures on tape, but a few of music as well. At present my 20gb H10 is almost 75% full.As for pictures, I have found that the E2 is far easier to do pictures with, albeit a little slower than the H10.I have no videos though. On a personal level to watch a movie on such a tiny screen holds no appeal. Plus, movies REALLY eat battery life. I have read good things about the Creative players for movie playback if you did not want to go with an iPod.</blockquote>
