So I'm not an iPod kinda guy. Call it a character flaw, but I always seem to seek out the alternative choice to things. Whether it be my photo management software, my blogging software, my underwear or my music player. I don't know what it is. Maybe I have this underdog mentality or something.
Anyways. My wife re-commandeered her little mp3 player that I had commandeered previously (dangit) and now if I go running with it I have to listen to a bit too much green day and Dave Mathews for one sitting...er...running.
So I wanted to get a new little one just for me and low and behold... [linky]
