That is an interesting player, but I probably would not have gotten it, because it took the whole complex of reasons I listed to swing me to getting an iPod<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;)
Well, the photo-storage feature was what sold me on the iPod; flash memory prices keep going down, but it was cheaper for me to get the picture-dumping tool from Belkin (and some portion of the price of the iPod being thought of as earmarked for this capability) than to buy as much flash memory as I would have liked to use taking photos over 2 weeks in china.
And as for AA batteries<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... call it a fetish if you must, but I've been burned and annoyed by proprietary batteries many times, and like ones that are standard and cheap (and conveniently rechargeable, with a wall charger, or USB charger -- no funny dock required per device).
