Money!

Man, I have around $800 to spend on stuff...and I don't know on what! I wanted a new MP3 Player, preferrable one that plays video. So I was looking at the Zen Vision. Then I noticed that the new Ipod is cheaper (wth is Creative thinking) and with there being Linux for Ipod that looked very attractive. But I hate Apple, and don't want to buy an Ipod. And I also wanted something that would play games. I thought about a Nintendo DS (which also has Linux on it) especially since they got cheap (to $120, against a $250 PSP) but I played the one my cousin has and its not something super special. Plus, I'd have to buy a couple games, buying 3 would cost me around $100. Then I saw the GPX2 and thought it was perfect. Plays videos, music, and has a bunch of emulators (SNES, MAME, OMG!) but realized that the product ain't all that great at the moment, with buggy firmware affecting battery life, media playback and such...but for $200 this thing seemed sweet. I'll probably wait for a firmware to have it in a usable state for me. The only thing this doesn't have is good storage. I gotta buy an SD card (prefferably a 2GB, which would cost some $140ish) since there's no hard drive in it. So I'm very confused...why can't they just make something good...:P
