I am leaning towards the iPod in terms of reliabilty. The Dell DJ is the first gen vs. a 3rd or 4th gen iPod. Who knows? Both of these devices have FM transmitters made by Belkins for auto use. I have a stock stereo, and I plan on keeping it that way so the RCA cables are not really an option. I just like how I can bring the MP3 player into the car or the gym

Hell, 15GB is awesome.
Oh, the battery issue. My co-worker has a problem with the battery as well. His battery doesn't give him a full charge for some reason. His iPod is less than 2 months old. :dunno:
Anyhow, thanks for all your inputs
