Damn technology!

For my birthday, S arranged a group gift from my friends. It wasn't a surprise, because we went shopping all over for an MP3 player. And we (he) ended up buying it on eBay for cheaper than we could have gotten it in stores.

I love my Creative Nomad MuVo TX! It's tiny, fits in the palm of my hand, runs off a single AAA battery, and provides me with hours of music. I managed to fit 11 albums into the 256MB memory capacity. I haven't even explored all of its features, yet.

A few minutes later .... AAAAHHHHhhhh!! While searching for a link for the MuVo TX's features, I came across this: the new MuVo TX FM! Identical to my TX, but with an FM receiver. And it's going for cheaper than my TX! Oooohhh, woe is me. :'(

Footnote: As it turns out, the MuVo TX FM isn't a Nomad, which means it was outsourced, which means it is likely not of the same caliber as their in-house Nomad products. Somewhat consoling. :)
