Thomson PDP2812 (5 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: 5GB for under 100 bucks, easy to use, good present.
Cons: The spin dial is a little stiff.

I got my mp3 player from my parents last Christmas. It is always good to have the convenient things in life. We used to have walkman and discman, so it is definitely better than those of course.

The mp3 has 5GB capacity and comes with ear phones (that I didn't care for) and a USB cable to charge the battery. It was pretty easy to figure out how to use and how to download the music that you want. I didn't have to use the instructions at all. I just messed around with it and was able to figure out the mp3 player.

It's not an iPod and doesn't have the graphics as the iPod does, but i have been fairly happy with it. At first when I got it I was a little disappointed because it was not an iPod. I've had it now for about 6 months and I've had no problems with the battery or anything.

The best thing about the mp3 is it's very affordable. You can buy two of these bad boys for the price of one iPod that hold the same amount of GBs.
