Their video players are either costlier than iPods(but with larger screen sizes) or have high defect percentage. But the entire industry is working towards getting compatible with iPod players, so the extra cost will get more and more justified as the time goes on. Some reasons to go for iPod players: <ol> <li> More number of accessories available at more retails shops</li> <li> More number of applications are created for iPods</li> <li> All podcast audio and video files are made available at least in iPod compatible form</li> <li> GNU/Linux has better support for iPods</li> </ol> If none of the above points are of any concern to you, then the alternatives can be considered from Creative, iRiver etc(especially if you are looking for voice recording and FM Radio like features).

What's a good alternative to the IPOD? I'm wondering if any of you can recommend a good MP3 player that is comparable to the IPod but WITHOUT they hype and price tabe to go with it. I was at the apple store a few days ago, and really liked the new 40GB or 80GB IPods that also show video, but was wondering if I could get the same kind of funcationality without that heftly price tag.
