I have been eyeing the iAudio X5L, which is arguably the best mp3-player on the market right now, for quite a long time to replace my Gmini 220. Apart from many small improvements the most important ones for me would be: 35 hours of playtime instead of 8, 30GB instead of 20, ogg support and therefore no need to convert to mp3, getting rid of the quirky handling of the Gmini. Nevertheless, I have decided that I won't do it. I could afford the new one in principle but its not worth it. The old one works and serves satisfactorily playing music while I bike to the institute and to hold my pictures on occasional trips. One day it will break down and then I will have the opportunity to buy a better one then. Am I a bad customer now, ignoring fancy advertisings and refusing to consume? ;-)
