4GB is a little to close a "fit" for my taste. Then again, 16GB is too. Philips USED to understand this and USED to have expandable memory slots, but the past couple years its been nothing but nice slick mp3 players with good battery life and zero expandability. I dont know what they are so afraid of; making an mp3 player thats not crippled by this easily amenable but hideous flaw.
Quite ironic that ipod is tied to itunes is both part of what appeals to people (easy to use for people even not that used to computers), and what turns other on that prefer to feed the device they use directly.

You bash on these this little MP3 player but for some its a great fit who dont want the locked down Ipod's.
This looks very similar, in form and function, to my beloved iriver S10.
