I recently got a new Sansa, from Sandisk, and I have to say, it's a very viable competitor to the iPod. It has a physical click wheel, like the g1 iPods, but less imposing. That glows blue, and the screen is made of a fairly scratch resistant surface, with a liquid-metal back that is almost impossible to scratch, but shows fingerprints surprisingly strongly. Very good quality, with fm radio/voice recording, as well as support for playlists and expansion (microSD.) The v1's are hackable, but the v2's have yet to be opened for rockbox or h3mod. Available in 2, 4, 6, or 8 gig.
