Friends help me!
i need a hard drive based mp3 player(CHEAPEST POSSIBLE) which can play videos
the important factor here is that i will go for the cheapest possible model.
i just want music and videos(no thrills and frills such as fm tuner and gamea,etc)

My advice to you would be to go for flash based as you are cost conscious.For an indepth look refer to may 2006 digit.

dont buy the cheapest............it will last for 2-3 months and music quality is also bad . if u have a very tight budget i suggest u to buy ipod shuffle . basically what u want ? just to say that I HAVE AN MP3 PLAYER ? then u can go for the cheapest . otherwise if u r a music lover then buy a recomended MP3 player ............there is a very good CUBE shaped mp3 available at jjmehta.u can try for that.

No.. I already have a flash based Mp3 player...I just want a player which can ply videos too ..and as most flash based players don't cross the 1 gb limit i think i wont be able to store a decent amount of movies and videos in it...i considered the nano and the fifth gen ipods but they are priced at 16,000...i think there is bound to be some cheaper models from creative, iriver and the others
and yeah i dont mean that i want a chinese made player when I Say CHEAPEST..(my budget is around 8k to 13k)
