what a brilliant compare site.I got a shuffle 1gb when i subscribed to audible a few years ago (part of an offer they don&#039;t do any more).  And since then, I&#039;ve been waiting for apple (stingy buggers that they are) to up the storage.  All I need is audible format.  I think apple are brilliant at marketing and product appearance, but not terribly generous with the specs.  A bit like Sony with their laptops (never again!).A Zune looks quite good.  Got nothing against Microsoft, personally.   As long as the company&#039;s a big name and won&#039;t vanish tomorrow, I&#039;ll go with them.
