I am looking for a flash-based MP3/video player with the following characteristics:
- flash based, at least 4gb storage standard
- pocket friendly (weight and size)
- gym-friendly (most don’t allow camera phones)
- supports drag and drop file transfer (without drivers)
- 2” or larger screen
- supports playback of ‘standard’ resolution video e.g. 624 x 352, 640 x 480 etc in xvid or divx format without the need for conversion or transcoding
I suspect the last one is the difficult one to fulfil but its an absolute must for me. My current solution is my Vario III phone (aka HTC Tytn II). Unfortunately it’s a bit on the large size and is not suitable for the gym. I also own an Archos AV500 which meets most of the above but also fails on the size/weight criteria (it has a hard drive rather than being flash-based).
I have considered the Creative Zen which looks ideal except it requires video conversion. Does my perfect device exist?
