iPod/Large storage MP3/4 Player

[Ashley 12344]

Basically, I have around £100 to spend on one. Need 8GB+ of memory ideally, however I can settle for 4+ if totally necessary.
Also needs to be mains charge (for my holiday).

Anyone recommend one/where to buy it?
Preferrably not online - need it asap.

Also, if there is any 'specialist' shops in Leeds I could go there, if anyone knows of any.

Cheers :)

Doubt you'll get a decent make for £100... sorry. I live in Leeds, bet try is currys.Digital down Briggate and look in the front of the store on the right as you walk in :)

If you've another £50, you can get iPod Classic 80GB. I know its way over 8GB, but it's good.

If it's over and a bit more money why does it matter lol!

Did you just ring me about my iPT?? I got a call cos I put an ad in the paper for it but when I realised PAYG iPhones weren't coming out until Dec i decided not to sell it yet.

You can get an 8GB or 16GB Creative Zen for 99.99 pounds (no pound symbol for this country DAMN IT). Creative Zens are very reliable and good, I have one and it's been excellent, although mine's a Zen Vision: M, the new Zen is cool :)

I have to be a devil and suggest a chinese player here. They're amazing quality for extremely cheap, I have one that runs on windows CE and it works a dream. The ones with your sort of specification are:

Onda VX767 8GB 4.3" touch screen (http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=148)
Meizu M6 8GB 2.4" screen with tactile strip (similar to ipod) (http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=18)
Nationite S:flo 8GB 2.8" touch screen (similar to ipod touch) (http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_36&products_id=151)
Onda VX777+ 8GB 3" touch screen (http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=103)

I think all of those are below £65 so you'll have plenty of money to spare. I'd highly recommend that route, all of those players are great for video too.

Problem with those though is I don't have time to wait for delivery. I'll have to leave it.

Thanks anyway :)

The time it took me to construct that post... :P Keep that site in mind if you need one for the future though, they have some nice 160GB ones for relatively cheap </plug>

Good luck!

Thanks :L

I'll keep a note of them sites anyway, for future reference. They do look quite nifty I must admit.

Sony Walkman for around £70-100 at certain shops.

They are 8gb and very good screen.

They're great little gadgets for the money. They're not made by chinese pirates either, CECT (makers of my iphone clone) and Newsmy (made the mp4 player) are the biggest phone and PMP manufacturers in china respectively, much like Nokia and Apple over here. Side by side some of them stand up very well feature wise and they have nice longevity too. But I'm hijacking this thread to plug chinese mp3 players :P

Just a thought, have you tired ipods on ebay?
