I don't know £ to US$ conversion, but the Apple iPod is obtainable for something like $300. It's basically the premier Mp3 player available.

Well just found this cool converter calculator.... the 256MB version goes for 200.00 US Dollar = 120.489 British Pound and as for the 128MB that one goes for 170.00 US Dollar = 102.416 British Pound As for buying it... well only place ive seen them selling the model i have was on Amazon U.K. But like you said you cant buy anything online. You might be able to ask a electronic store if they can order one for you, but you might end up playing more. Thats if your really interested in the RIO cali. Pretty much all the info i can give you.

 

[tm2003]

its gonna be a gift for christmas so i was thinking of the nike psa play 120 but i wanted to know what is the difference between that and the nike psa play act 200 thats in the argos catolague www.argos.co.uk except the color and i was checking does it com e with the usb and software btw thanks nocturnal p.s for all the reaserch help

 

[tm2003]

the player im getting

you can see it there it looks good and i might buy a 128 bit media card

 

[tm2003]

what do you think of the player im getting. and im sorry the ipod was two expensive and large for the portability i need. im using it for running so it seems perfect

 

[LoudMusic]

That's cool. I'm not into listening to music while I run. I prefer to be more focused on the run.

A couple friends at work have that Nike player, though, and they seem to enjoy it quite a lot.

Yeah i was going to buy that player... but the guy told me he didnt know too much about the Nike one. Just that the RIO had been around alot longer so i went with that instead.

Man i cant really do that when im ridding. Its hard for me to just focus on that, its kindof like working out i just need that music or somekind of music playing in the backround help me get moving.

iPods aren't that big...are they?

 

[tm2003]

thanks for the info. viper i didnt mean really big i just mean the the nike and the rio caira can be strapped to arms and are not heavy whereas the ipod looks like and old style gameboy. any way thanks for the info. loud music did your friends at work say that there was amedia ard slot at the back
also does any one no if it would be compatible with a 128 bit mem card even tho it comes with 64 bit internal memory then if so whats the best price. and nocturnal its easy to run with music. i have to do cross country loads so i might ask if i can do it with a mp3 player. and i also need the musical motivation to work out i gives my pull ups and pressups rythem and i usually use powerful music for psycing up like eye of the tiger, its my life,u2 beautiful day so on what about you
