  Rob Anderson -- the fearless leader of the SLUG (Durham) sub-group
-- has a couple of Sansa devices running the Rockbox third-party
firmware, and claims to be quite happy with them.  He put on a demo a
while back.  More features than an iPod (e.g., FM tuner, volume
leveling), in a smaller package, for less money.  The UI wasn't quite
as "smooth" as Apple's, but it did quite a bit more, so that might be
unavoidable.

  YMMV.

  Haven't gotten around to trying Rockbox on my iPod yet, but it does
seem really cool.
