Well I'm looking forward to seeing the one I bought. This was my second choice gift. The first was a truly amazing (and cheap) MP3 player/FM radio/Voice Record combination that accepts SD cards in addition to it's scanty 128MB internal memory. I bought one at the QVC outlet and it's my favorite so far. It looks cheap, so I don't fear leaving it on a lounge chair while I hit the pool, but it has great sound (has built in equalizer) and accepts a 1GB card with no problem. So even including a $15 1GB SD card, the player would cost me less than $25. Even if someone did steal it, it's better than losing a $200+ Ipod.
The
Emerson MP205, unfortunately, was no longer available at the QVC outlet store and I could not find it on-line. The one I got was less than $10 during their store sale, so I should have bought a few when I had the chance.
My 3rd choice was a Swiss army knife knockoff.
The 2nd choice was the one I went with. It's similar to something I own, but I used an on-line merchant I never used before, which is why I was worried. It's custom made, so I would love to see a picture of how it turned out.
