Personally I think they look ugly, and for what they are, very much a rip-off. There it shows a 1gb one for £49 - I paid about £13 for a cheap 1gb player a few months back. Also, the number of songs that they store is, I think, based on 128kbps 44khz stereo (standard). As for the bigger ones, I think that the Creative Zen ones look better, and seem better value for money.

Personally though I don't ever feel the need to have my entire music collection at hand at any given moment. I'm happy enough to spend 10 minutes picking songs I want on a given day to put onto my small player - though I don't often bother at that even.
