For everyone?

I have taken this device everywhere with me. I took it to band practices and sat it in the room and played back the recordings at later points so we can improve. I listened to music on the bus, when walking and countless other occasions.

I personally wear combat trousers the majority of the time, with those large side pouches that make carrying things so much easier. Most things will go in there and I won't even notice it - but when walking I found the Archos Recorder would shift around quite a lot and became a little uncomfortable - it was far from transparent. At the same time it would not really fit into my jean pockets without feeling very uncomfortable. Despite it's ability to take shock quite well, it is not a very portable solution if you like to go jogging or cycle being quite cumbersome in comparison to devices such as this cheap £25 device:

This is a very light weight mp3 player, which takes 2xAAA batteries. Just plug in a compact flash card and away you go. I am mentioning this product not because it's good, as it has a lot of problems (very limited functionality, batteries often move enough to cause a reset etc.). But the concept behind the device is much better for active people as it is hardly noticeable. If this person is you, perhaps something such as the Creative Muvo is more your of tea.

When in a fixed location it was fine, I would just put it on a desk and I could listen until my heart was content.
