I have an Archos personal video recorder that is able to record live tv from my satellite box for viewing whenever, which is great because I'm on the train commuting a couple hours away. It also serves as a fully functional mp3 player and has an 80GB hard drive so I can have 40+ hours of tv and a shitload of songs on it at the same time. It's quite a bit more expensive than an Ipod, but the tv functionality makes it more than worth the difference.
I love how Apple is taking advantage of dumb consumers by offering a 2GB Nano/Mini for $199 while the 20GB version is $299. I guess people are willing to pay more for less space/functionality just because it's smaller.
