New features scare me and kill my wallet so I saw the chance to pick up a discounted Creative Zen Sleek on the cheap now they're being got rid of. So down I go to Annoyingly Advertised Catalog Shop (uh, I guess if they sell rip off cameras and mp3 players and laptops they count as competitors right?) who had it displayed in their window for £110. And they're out of them. Everywhere.
So, I come home and look on the computer. The only place with them is a competitor who was after £120. OK, I think, its still a good deal. So I buy it and expect it to turn up in 3 days time. Except it doesn't. Because they've made more sales than they had and mine, being the cheapo delivery, was the last one that they got to. Hurrah - at least they get the refund sorted. So I go to look and can't find it anywhere else.
What I'm after is too simple for anyone to bother making anymore except dubious no-brand types. So far, all I've seen thats a recognisable brand at that kind of price range is the iRiver H10.
20gb. MP3 player. Preferably can be used without software. Decent support for folders, playlists etc. Decent battery life. £130 kind of price.
