    My zaurus plays oggs just fine.

    Granted I got better battery life from my Archos mp3 player, but then the darned thing suffered a power-circuit meltdown during an overnight charge on a trip to Canada. I figured that $400 was too much to pay for a mere 3 months of product life, and so have avoided Archos since.

    As far as recording, my laptop works well.
