And what I really, really want for Christmas!
An iRiver H120. It’s discontinued. You can’t find it at bestbuy, or the SourceCC. You can’t find it on Craigslist either. I’ve looked. The only place where you can really get one nowadays is Ebay.ca. It is, by far, the only iPod killer I care to ever own.
Sure, it’s not as cute as an ipod. It doesn’t look as "simple" and as "clean" as an iPod. The controls are not as "intuitive" or "user-friendly." Well, I’ve always been a PC girl, so this is FINE for me. In electronics, one should always put function over form. If it’s really ugly and it must stand in your living room? Well, that’s what an opague door on an entertainment system is for.
Specs:
20GB of internal storage - drool.
Up to 16 hours of battery life - drool.
Supports MP3, WMA, ASF, OGG and WAV music files - somebody said OGG. I’m in.
Ultra-fast USB 2.0 transfers (up to 40 times faster than USB 1.0) - oh my. That just goes to show how old this player is, and how it is STILL cool.
Integrated FM tuner - You can record from it. Good call for trying to find out what song that is later.
Intuitive music navigation - not really. 
It’s sort of geekish instead of podish.
Real-time MP3 encoding (no PC required) - meow.
Store or transfer files of any type - 20gb portable harddrive, anyone?
Line-in and Line-out jacks - line-in. Why would I get an mp3 player with no line-in? Reason why I don’t want an ipod.
Optical input and output - stereo out to an amp … who needs special "docks"?
Built in Voice Recorder - one button operation.
One drawback - this thing is 60(W) X 19(D) X 105(H)mm, so it’s about the size of an old JVC compact walkman. Still, small enough to slip into a shirt pocket. And it comes in natural BLACK.
Why they ever discontinued this baby is beyond me.
