    these will be end of line stock for them (used to work at argos), you'll mostly find that if the item is out on home delivery there wont be any in store

    Following a similar thread here I bought this:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=177682

    Very ugly but for £81 you can't go wrong.

    The software that you need to use for the sony one put me off it in the end, buggy apparently, reading the reviews of it on dabs to see what I mean. Also it was £150 at the time, basically twice as much as the one I got

    Johnny, the one you had a link to looks very cool... like the colours, even thought that isn't the most important part I have an iRiver, although have no idea what they cost in the UK but can recommend them at least. It's a serie or different types I've got the iRiver IFP - 795.

    Good luck with choosing one

    i really like the iRiver ones and the Creative ones, they just seem to be a little out of budget
