[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5211802, member: 177"] I don't typically pick up a new gizmo, technology, or device until I have a clear need for it. So,as of now, I don't own a portable digital media player, as I haven't needed one. My work commute pattern is about to change, and I expect an mp3/media player may now be a good thing. Now, I could do the easy thing, and just by the ubiquitous iPod. But what is the fun of tech if you don't be a bit of a gearhead about it, and do research? So, some of the requirements: 1) I don't expect I need more than about 8-16 GB of storage on the device. 2) I don't have any real desire to watch video on the thing. 3) An FM tuner on board would be a feature I'd use fairly regularly, if present. 4) I expect to use the thing for music, audiobooks (from my public library, mostly) and I would expect to explore the podcast space some - devices that allow me to *not* shuffle spoken-word materials in with music would be a good thing. 5) I'm not expecting to be a big user of iTunes for purchasing music (thus, maybe I don't need an iPod, specifically). 6) As a new user, I don't really want to lay out huge amounts of money for the super-slickest thing on the market. I want solid performance, but I don't need cutting edge. [/QUOTE]
