MP3 player for my mum
LadyFluff
08-09-2008
Hello!

I'm hoping to get an MP3 player for my mum for Christmas, more for listenign to audiobooks than music. It needs to be in the region of about 2-4gb, and the main criteria is that it must have a clear screen and not too fiddly buttons as she is partially sighted (hence the audiobooks, as she struggles with reading). I'll be around at Christmas to help her set up, but wondered if people might have an idea of what might be best. I'm a Creative girl, through and through, but don't mind if there's another brand out there - I just want what would be most suitable for her.

Thanks (hopefully!)

New blue-design out: http://community.winsupersite.com/bl...goes-blue.aspx

Some new features as well: http://community.winsupersite.com/bl...ne-3-news.aspx

Wonder if MS intend to take the Zune beyond the US.

Do you know his mum?

There are more than "the social" features in there of course.

sure, but the new ipods do look rather usable. apple tends to add features that work for regular people

show her the keynote from this week, jobs gives a demo of the nano and itunes 8
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/M...4&id=275834665 is a video link for itunes.

or just stream it from the site

i was slightly dubious of the new design, but it does look pretty good, esp with the accelerometer and all that. i think most moms would like that thing.
