Pretty much, yeah. I saw people running Linux applications with their iPod on the teevee.
I like my 40 GB iPod. Don't need much more than that (although maybe better battery life).

I have a Zen Micro. It does only hold a little bit, but I figure there's only 1000 or so songs I ever listen to regularly, so I don't really need a lot more space. Even with the lack of space I still find myself skipping a lot of the time. I got it in December, and the only problem I've had with it is probably because I left it in a hot car for a few hours. My girlfriend said she read a thing in the paper that compared them, and the Zen had 0 cons, and her iPod has been a headache ever since she got it. I guess if you really need to hold 2000 songs, the Zen won't work, but otherwise it's great.

You can with the iRiver, and if you use playable files, and put the in the Music subfolder, well, you can listen to them too.

Ipod Supported Audio Formats: AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, Audible, MP3, WAV
Yes, you can use it as a HDD.
The whole point of getting an MP3 player is to carry my whole music collection with me. A 5GB IRiver is therefore not an option. Actually, no-one makes an MP3 player big enough for me, but at least some get close.
blindsuperhero:
Yeah, 5GB is a bit small for me, but as I said the 20GB iRivers aren't out here, and iPods just plain suck :)

Zen > iriver.
You can get Zens over here, you shoulda got one of them.
