how much storage would you want?

ooh, well atm on my computer i have about 15-20gb of music, so way above that, and if the mp3 player has good video features higher again so i could store a decent amount.

i know that 80gb ipod video classic is tempting but just want to know what the other alternatives are.
 
There are various players that are worth looking into, there's a new Creative Zen with 32gb storage and an SDHC slot, although it's not really that big. Cowon's D2 (Should be a D3 soon) has very good sound and a relatively big screen, only comes in 8gb, but has SDHC too.

The hard disc dap market is looking a little bare at the moment, the best out there is
Kenwood HD60 but it doesn't have video. Otherwise I'd get a Creative Zen Vision:M Slim (Creative don't make these anymore, so you'll have to look around for one).

Personally, I'm getting a Samsung P2, and waiting a bit to see what gets released in 1Q08 :).
 
I think your best bet would be the new Creative Zen 16GB. Very small, excellent audio and video quality and built in FM radio. I've seen them for £149.99 delivered. That leaves you enough to get a decent set of headphones and a case along with it. I've seen at with free creative travel speakers for the £149.99 price as well.

OCUK only do the 4GB and 8GB models. How about it Gibbo, can you get the larger capacity ones in? They are also releasing a 2GB and 32GB version, although I havn't seen them around yet.

They are great i am tempted to sell mine but with firmware updates theres no point as i don't need 80gb. And the nano zunes also look the part. Just wish they worked with macs only bad thing about them
