    Note my use of "local stores".  I know about that page.  I also know that
none of those players were available at Best Buy, Circuit City or Fry's either
in store or on their web page.  Being able to handle the unit and see what it
really looks like means a lot to me.  I mean until you have seen an iPod
shuffle in person you really don't realize how small it is.  Same with the
other units.  Yeah, it's great they support Ogg but until they're in the store
where I can see what they look/feel like and, more importantly, know they're
not going to disappear the second after I order it (exhibit A: my PJB-100) I
don't really trust those units at all.
