If you are not a fan of the iPod and are looking for a new mp3 player Amazon has a nice deal going right now.  If you purchased a refurbished 4GB or 8GB Zune player you receive a free car kit – a $70 value.  I have a Zune player myself and it is a nice iPod alternative if you don’t want to be a slave to iTunes.  I will even suggest a new CD for you to buy because I a huge fan.  just dropped their latest release, Paper Empire, in May and it is on sale for $6.99!  I have been listening to it nonstop for two weeks now so it is Pony approved!
