A co-worker got an iRiver 5GB Red and she loves it - she's had a couple
other brands before that and they now sit on the shelf or in her cabinet at
work.

I don't have one yet, but after seeing hers, I'm saving for one myself.
They sound good. I like the ability to listen to FM stations, as well as
recording FM radio and voice with the microphone.

The iPod Nano doesn't do FM or voice recording - but that may or may not be
an issue for you. I do like the size of them, but between these two
choices, I would prefer the iRiver.

Hope this helps.
