Thanks for the replies. The Archos stuff looks pretty interesting. Does anyone know how the fast forward works on the 402? This is another point of contention for me with the Ipod. I recently bought an audio book from itunes. It comes in three files, each about 2 hours long. If you happen to be 7/8ths of the way through a file and you accidentily lose your place it is very difficult to FF through to the place that you left off. It is a very slow process. Again, Archos makes several devices that are pretty cool. Unfortunetly there is no place locally where I can see one. I think I'll pick up a 402 anyway.

Thank You!
