FM tuner, media player, but requires file conversion. Can be rockboxed. Refub units are always around for $50.

No FM tuner (can get an add-on), but access to internet radio. Full media, web, media server (wired and wireless), media streaming back and forth wirelessly, TV recorder, yadda yadda yadda. GPS too.

Cowon Q5W

The Big Daddy, with everything you could possible want.

The iPod and iTouch and Zune are...archaic :)

How do I plug my eight track into that thing? :cool:

You want HD? You go for a walk outside in the forest, desert, or by the ocean and listen to nature... the original HD and it is in surround! And it is free!

BTW I have a HD radio in my car and the sound quality is night and day, especially on the AM stations.

However it is extremely annoying if you get a weak station and the HD drifts in and out or sometimes I get an echo effect.
