iriver E150 4 GB Digital Media Player (Pink)

I got this product because I loved my iRiver e100 so much that, when it died-- after almost three years and going through the wash twice-- I could do nothing less than get the next product up. It's natural to navigate the screens with one hand, and the music is higher quality than I've found in any other player, including iPods. There are very few reasons it doesn't get 5 stars: it scrolls through songs slower than the last player (I'd guess about three songs per second) which doesn't help impatient me. And, as for the last one, they need some help with their instruction manuals.

A tip to the wise: press up to start a song from the beginning or go back a song, hold it to rewind; down to go forward a song, hold it to fast forward; left goes backwards; center button or right confirms; and holding right for long enough brings you to the menu that changes things from 'repeat one' to 'shuffle' and etc., as well as bringing up the various different sound qualities.
