A nice idea - again, that was my thinking. I'd be able to carry more than one card and use them for the camera/pda./phone (though they'll all end up being different formats in all liklihood).
Give me more - what are the drawbacks. I'm just about to go on holiday so want something for a trip to asia and then something small enough to put in my pocket rather than bag when cycling to work. plus something with standard battery. What doesn't this one do?
The other argument is that the iriver is cheap enough to use for a while by which time another player will be cheap enough......now a 10gb flash player for £100...
In my setup now, I maintain two libraries: FLAC and lame 3.96.1 -V 6
MP3. I know the MP3s are rather low quality, but as their target is
the car/portable, small filesize is more important:

1GB really isn't that much (~20
CDs at best), especially if you're used to the 10GB iPod.

Also, if the flash memory goes bad on the player, you're in the market for a whole new
player. As such, I looked for players that had a slot for some kind of
external storage.

In the end I went with the decidedly no-frills Lexar
LDP 200 ( http://lexar.com/mp3/index.html).
As I said, the player is seriously no frills,
and I do have some minor qualms, but overall it has been great.
