looks decent to me. If I didn't already have my Zen micro I would be all over that.

Holy Crap that's cheap.

That's gotta be an error. They go for $215 on ebay.

Actually if you try to order, you'll see that the $92 is just for the remote.

http://tinyurl.com/pub3t [froogle] ~300-400 retail, about what I'd expect from sony..

for that price its far from the 'ipod killer' I'm sure they wanted it to be.. for the 215 ebay price its closer



controls look a little awkward too.. a single touch pad for everything?

"awkward" would be an understatement..... how about weird as hell? (and usually in this arena, weird != good)

Just buy an ipod through the school for $269.

Yeah, ipod through the booktore for 269.00 or through the education of the apple website. same exact price either way (free shipping online, but you still have to pay sales tax since they have retail outlets in NC) although you do get free engraving online too.

Or you could go with an iAudio if you don't want an iPod. Better sound quality with an on the fly customizable equalizer, plays movies and has a built in FM radio, voice and line-in recorder.
