Thanks for the feedback. I went out and picked one up last night. The 2GB version was actually on sale for $45 so I grabbed it.
I love it already, so easy to use. Just plugged the USB cable into my computer and it was detected automatically. You don't have to install any software, within 5 minutes of opening the box my entire music collection (1.5GB) was transfered to the player. Granted, it still needed a couple of hours charging before it was ready to go. I used it this morning while I was exercising and it worked great. The sound quality was good, and the interface was very intuitive. I'm very happy with the purchase.
