I did'nt have the time to check ALL the replies to see if this has been pointed out yet... but, I would have to say that for $100 cheaper you can get an Archos Jukebox FM 20 and just buy a little portable FM transmitter from radio shack if you really need that functionality. The two are comparible in size and weight... Neuros is 5.3"x3.1"x1.3" 9.4oz and the Archos is 4.45"x3.11"x1.18" 10.23oz. They both have 10hr li-ion batteries and both have 20GB harddrives. They are both appealing to the eyes in different ways and both can recieve FM transmissions and record them. The Neuros can broadcast to FM, which the Archos cannot do... and the Archos can record from ANY analog or digital source which I dont think the Neuros can handle. Oh and the Archos uses USB2 as opposed to the Neuros which uses USB1.1, but it can "beam" info to another buddies Neuros.... Its hard to say really, depends on if you need the FM broadcasting ability... but like I said, for aprox. $50 at radio shack you can get a little transmitter for use with the Archos. I think its pretty clear which one I am going to buy;p
