Mp3 players are so fancy these days. Videos, games, apps -- they all distract from the original purpose of a digital music player: to carry around huge amounts of audio in a really small amount of space. Sure, some of the things people do with their iPhones are kind of cool, but sometimes you just want to listen to music or audio books in peace. After all, you'd never expect a Walkman to do your taxes, would you?
So I say, let's get back to basics. Like this 2 GB mp3 player, for example. It's small - just 0.7 inches wide, 1.8 inches long, and 0.3 inches thick - but it holds approximately 68 hours of music (that's about 500 mp3s). It comes with everything you need to get started: headphones and a USB connector/charger. Simple and straightforward, it's interface is easy to use.
It plays music, it's easy to use, and it's ultra-compact. What else do you really need in a digital music player? Because, let's face it. Your iPhone still isn't getting you dates.
