RE: MP3 Portable Player Recomendations?

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

Agree 100%.  I don't own anything else by Apple, but the iPOD is a text
book
case in usability and design.  Battery life could be better though, if I
was
to really pick holes.

BTW, the iTrip is available in the UK, usually via eBay, but make sure you
get the right model (i.e. for the 'dock'/3rd Gen  iPOD).  Also here

Ignore the pretenders, buy the real thing ;-)

Hi Phil

The IPOD is an excellent choice.. I have one and it was the best
decision...
If you wait a while there is talk of an even better IPOD to rival the
options on the Philips and the Thomson Lyra inc. Vid and multiple music
formats..

If you do get an IPOD now find a pal in the states to send you an FM
transmitter, It's ultra small and your whole house can tune into it + Work
+
Car +... you get the idea.. It is quite powerful and I think that is why it
is illegal in the UK.. (Antiquated Radio Broadcasting laws !!!)

We have also been on the sharp end of a few new Mobile phone concepts that
will be reality by the end of next year and they will do everything you
want... and Tim and well pretty much everything except make the Tea (We're
working on that !!!)

In conclusion.. Don't spend a fortune now (15GB IPOD is perfect..) as the
future looks bright... :-)

Enjoy.

Mark H.
