Being tempted by an iPod?

Coo - the Sandisk Sansa e280 8G byte flash memory video/mp3 player is now under £75 at Amazon.

I bought one of these for L at £120ish around Christmas, and she's been delighted with it. I almost bought one recently when the price fell to £99, and I've just done so now it's gone down even further.

As well as being £30 cheaper than the equivalent iPod nano (£45 cheaper than the latest ones), it also appears to your PC/Mac as a USB disk, so you don't need to faff with iTunes or Apple trying to stop you using anything else.

FYI, if you set an iPod to "enable disk use", I don't think you have to use iTunes.

(I know you can then drag objects in using Explorer/Finder/other OS equivalent - whether or not that can include music/videos that are then playable on the iPod, I don't know, as I just use my USB stick, and I don't have my iPod with me to experiment.)
