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.

And the built in Mic.
I have one (plus the docking station thing) and had one for the year (got mine from Singapore).
Love it, just about to get some bluetooth headphones for mine.
Quick one - do you still have the installation / conversion disk for yours? I lost mine and like its handy video conversion software for it... I dont suppose you can see if you can zip n email or zip and ftp it?
You dont seem to be able to download that part of the software from Sandisk.
