from 250$ to 300$ CAD ( canadian dollar)

nothing to extotic that you can only find in one special shop

imo,

The Zune HD is pretty good, Sony's are good for music but transfering other things they're a mess. Of course there's an iTouch, but a new one will probably come out in September. AVOID ARCHOS! They have lots of issues with design and breakdown often.

If you're also looking for a mobile phone, the Microsoft Kin comes with full Zune functionality built right in.

Kin is dead... don't bother. Wait for WinMo 7

Ah, being from the UK, I don't know the technological trends of the States :P It just looked like an interesting phone, is all.

iTouch? Else something else iPod. You can't go past the fact that everything is designed to work with the iPod.

are the zune stuff for jokes or are you guys serious am tired right now and I can't detect sarcasm, also I'm trying to avoid the itouch since everybody got one I don't want to be a sheep like them ;)

This one was my first mp4, about  -> https://techmallcr.com/images/productos/NWZ-S615.jpg

At the moment, I have an iPod Nano and it's pretty awesome. I didn't really had the need to change, but I always wanted to have an iPod. Very simple to handle, it's pretty, the only problem is that you can only sychronize with one computer. This means that if you go to a friends place, you can't give him your songs. That's really the only problem, I love the rest about it.

If you're not very into the whole "ipods" thing, I'd advise you to check this one: http://www.sony.co.uk/product/nws-e-series/nwz-e455
