I have an i-BEAD 400 which is flash based, very small and plays MP3, WMA, ASF 
and (which was important for me) OGG. More features: radio, built-in micro or 
line-in for recording (also has timed recording for radio programmes), 
usb-storage compatible, equalizer, text-viewer for small text files, 
playlists, 2-color  organic display (apparently it needs no backlight and 
therefore little power), 25 hours playback.

The only disadvantages I found is that it has a built-in battery which means 
that if you run out of battery and need to charge it via USB again. Also, you 
need a USB cable to connect to the computer, so it doesn't have the plug 
built-in.

Anyways, I'm happy with it. See

Cheerio,
