I have had this for more than a year. Picked it up for $80 at Costco on sale.
It does everything I want. Plays my MP3s (don't need a music service), gives me flash storage if I need it, and stores some cute little stupid pet videos for when the kids get bored.
It's also a tank. I have even managed to put a crack in the thick glass protecting the screen from carrying it in my pants pocket all the time- still works fine.
The buds that come with it are the best I've ever heard. And the thumbwheel works a treat - allowing one to page through hundreds of songs in seconds.
If I have a gripe with it, it is that it only allows one to create a single playlist (and maybe they've fixed that by now, I should check). The battery is still going strong. Sandisk makes great stuff.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
