This review is from: Sony Walkman NWZ-E354BLK Series 8GB Video Mp3 Player (Black) (Electronics)
I've been using a Rio Cali for about 6 or 7 years for running, and it was indestructible. The only thing that stopped it was lack of support for a 64-bit operating system. That and the fact that it had all of 256MB (plus a 500MB SD card that brought the capacity to nearly a gig).
I did a ton of research, and I leaned toward Creative (I'm not an Apple fan). I have the older Creative Zen W 60 GB, but that's hard-drive-based and not good for exercise. And I'm not happy with the direction some of the newer flash-based Creative models have taken.

This thing is very easy to use, and the screen is nice--perfect for viewing the album playing and title, but not SO nice that I'm afraid to scratch it while exercising.

I really enjoy my Sony. It is small and user friendly. The cost of the product makes it a fantastic value. The drag and drop features make transfering music and videos a breeze! My son had to have an IPOD. He paid twice the money and did not get the FM turner. I use mine daily at the gym. and find it allows me to enjoy the workout with the music of my choice.
