i suggest a flash-player, which is powered by an AA Cell
e.g.
Conwon IAudio G3
Samsung YP MT 6
the samsung i have on my own ... performance is about 25
hours (with older AA Accus, Soundprocessor on, but not much button pressing)
i have a archos gmini 400 and love to skateboard and i want something that is durable not saying the gmini 400 is a piece of crap but the screen is covers alot of the front of it and could be cracked easyly so i want something durable id doesnt have to be a 20 gb acualy i was looking at micro hdd like a apple ipod mini or creative zen micro or even a flash based player please just give me your opinions on your experiences with any mp3 player on its durability
