or everything they sell is solid state these days.
one of the two.
hint: they don't use hard drives anymore.

Wait... What's wrong with an iPod... With lod it has respectable sound.
Edit:
if you care more about the audio get an amp3 (or similar model) hisoundaudio.com
otherwise I would go with an itouch... Generally the same result can be achieved with an itouch if amped proerly. Itouch has the apps. There's lots you can do with it. More people have it so it is easier to troubleshoot. iTunes is the main issue I have with it... But I don't sync often...
As always, I would get a nice pair of headphones.... Reviewing a player with the earbuds/cans they came with is pointless. Your not gonna be stuck with those things forever.
I recommend
grado-sr60/80/I
yuin
sennheisers in general...
Akg k271/272 if properly amped
I have not tried k271.... Just a little out of my price range and current setup... I would have to upgrade a few things.

Do I laugh?
True, pop music, you can barely tell at 320kbps vs .flac. However, instrumentals quickly become obvious. It also depends on your music output. Crappy headphones makes it difficult to find differences.
Quality in - garbage out = garbage out.
psyren:
Most magazines that have reviewed iPods all say that it has mediocre sound quality.
Creative, as a sound company by nature, would tend to know what they're doing.
Apple, a tupperware company...

Hey apple also makes good trash cans and fish tanks, oh wait those were all converted from their old iMacs, boy I don't miss those awkward looking eggs.
