THAT's the kind of info I'm looking for, I have the Gillette DE date code page, and the generic info it offers, I just need some more concrete ideas of what exactly I'm looking for...of course, it could make the whole process easier if someone had one they didn't want....
I really like the Sansa lineup of personal media devices. I have my e280 8 GB player, with a 2 gig micro-SD, but when I decided I needed more storage, I went with a Zune 80 (of course, 6 weeks later they debut the 120......:angry032)
having been anti-Ipod for nearly ever since they came out - not because of the device, but because of all the friggin' advertising, and everything for years being "I-this" and "I-that", really annoyed - I actually gave them a fair trial of what I thought. They're a fine player, they're just not the top of the heap that Apple wants you to believe. Do I believe the Zune is much better? No, it's not significantly better, but it beat the Ipod - UI is better, sounds better, more features, yes I actually use the radio, much more value per $ than Ipod, and cost less, too.
Here's a couple of links for you to check out, though, lots of good advice in these pages. Archos and Iriver make some of the best stuff, but I'm super-happy with the Sandisk line, they just don't (yet) have the storage capacity I was looking for with the Zune.
