some guy on another forum convinced me to go for it. Originally i had never even heard of cowon and was going to get the creative zen, but he pointed it out and said it was better for my needs (ill list what i said below). After a bit of research i decided it was a better player, so this thread was the last thing i needed to get checked out.

what i need it to be able to do:
1) i use linux
2) it needs to be able to be used as a portable hard drive to store any type of file (it doesnt need to be able to access them though)
3) needs to have 25GB or more storage [i know the cowon doesnt have 25gb or more, but since its got that sd card slot its ok for me]
4) it will be used in my car primarily so looks and appearance are completely unimportant
5) having rockbox support is a plus
6) the OS installed on it needs to be speedy and well organized (i cant drive and stare at a screen )
