I am leaning towards the Samsung as it seems to have the best price/performance and frequent firmware updates
I also have a samsung mobile so the possibility to pair them may exist

Pls dont suggest Ipod's as the sound quality is far inferior to the Sony and the Cowan, and worse than the Samsung

I would go for this one:

Sony Walkman NWZ-A828 8Gb- £170


My gf has this one:Amazon.co.uk: Sony NWZA818 - 8GB Video MP3 Walkman - Upto 30hrs Battery Life - Black: Electronics & Photo and its superb!!


Actually looking at the Cowan that looks pretty nifty...although it requires software to get stuff on it which is a real turnoff for me...brings back the itunes shudders

 

[Chronictank]

pretty sure cowon is a drag and drop,
its just not as pretty and thicker
but 50 hrs battery life and expandable slot using standard SD cards ><
The fact the sony is so picky about the video formats kind of puts me off it

I dont think a single MP3 player has everything though...
If size isnt an issue then I would take the Cowan if it is indeed drag and drop as its a lot more versatile.

Although I dont think you can go far wrong with either of those 3 really.
I'd be very happy if I had any of those.
