I'll probably get the iFP-999 in the new year, once my family (yet again) ignores my christmas list and doesn't get me what I ask for. It's small (will fit in an altoids container), flash-based (so won't mess up when I run or bike with it), works with Linux, and has a color interface (which means I can see it in the dark). Size matters -- I wanted a 1 GB player that was as physically small as possible. The altoids thing was neat 'cause now I can build a padded metal case for it. :)
The only other thing that I'd like would be if it was waterproof. :) -- Brian C.
