Apple - 8GB iPod Nano Chromatics — 

I've had a few mp3 players before and never really found myself using them regularly.  But our new treadmill has a dock for and iPod and when I saw this iPod Nano 4'th Gen available cheap on Woot.com I decided to go for it. 

I LOVE this thing!  I've downloaded music, music videos, Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog, an audio book, podcasts, pictures, you name it.  It works great with iTunes, the sound quality is terrific and I can't believe how great the resolution is on the little full color screen!

It docks easily (using an inexpensive adapter) to my treadmill and I can use earphones or external speakers. 

The menu took me a little while to figure out, but once you get it down it's a snap to navigate.  I love that if I flip the nano around the TV picture will follow whatever orientation the device is at.

There is a 'shake 'n shuffle' feature that I'm not overly crazy about, if you shake it it switches songs, this is on purpose, but if you just accidentally jostle it and didn't want to leave what you were listening to it's kind of a pain.

Overall though I love this device, I have the 8GB storage but you can also get 16GB, 8 has been plenty for me so far.
