Cowon A3. That's the best!!!

Else go for Archos 5.

But if you need a player that is stylish, high quality playback and slim, go for this:

I'd say go for the touch. Here, I'm assuming you don't need more than 8GB of space. Nothing beats the touch when it comes to the interface, and from what I've heard, the mediocre SQ of the previous Gen has been improved considerably as well. Plus, the applications are a very decent bonus. All these, along with a great battery life, and a crisp 3.5" screen make the touch probably the best low capacity PMP out there!

Magazines, will of course have differences in opinion. But as far as the general trend goes, most sites and magazines will vouch for the iPod Touch. Take cNet and PC World as examples.

Went for ipod touch 8Gb coz of these reasons

1. Screen is great
2. Interface
3. 8GB is enough for me
4. Getting it from US so just $229
5. Whatever it is IPOD turns heads and it is stylish.......

Thanks everyone for your valuable help...
