SanDisk is not known for making digital music players, they're known for making memory. Go with the iPod.

Get the iPod, but some things you should know is that iTunes only works with Windows XP, Windows ME, and of course Mac OS X or 9, I think it's compatible with 8 but I'll check.

I really like my Rio Carbon. Less storage, but also less chunky.

I looked at the carbon, personally i thought that the chunkyness of the Karma would help me keep track of it...too small and ill lose it... and i love the large storage space in small machine...

I'm not sure if you have made a descision(sp?) yet, so I might be a little late.

I have an iPod 20GB, and it is my sole existence on this earth. I looked up the Karma, and it was $300. That's how much the iPod 20GB model is. So, if you are debating between a Shuffle and the Karma, you should get the Karma. But since the Karma would cost the same as an iPod (with the same amount of storage, too), I think you should be debating between the regular iPod and the Karma. And when it comes down to that, I would choose the iPod. I am very satisfied with mine.

I hope this helps.

Listen to me, people LOVE iPods! Get the iPod when you talk to your friends you'll be a people magnet.

I'm just so excited about this, and I don't know where else to post it, so:
At work, there's a nation-wide contest between stores to up our sales this month as compared to last month. The store with the greatest increase wins free IPods for all the staff! And my store is well in the lead (with a 40% increase - the next-closest store has only a 20% increase) with one week to go! I'd never spend the money on an IPod - I am a poor starving student you know - but if it's free? Yahoo!

Gee where do you work? And im not so much going for people magnet as for having the one that works better, and the Karma, having a lot of space is right now my favorite.

I work at Chapters - essentially the Canadian equivalent to Barnes & Noble.

I'm not sure - they haven't really given us too many details. But since we have about 30 employees, I'm guessing whichever one is the cheapest. Our online division does sell them, though, so the company would only have to pay cost (no markup), so I really don't know. After working tonight, though, we're still ahead of all the other stores, so it looks like everything's coming up Milhouse!
