Yo guys, a while back you helped me decide on getting the iAudio X5..

Now, I also saw the iRiver-PMP 120 I think it was.. but it seemd bulgy and battery life was not sufficiant..



Now, I saw the iAudio X5 on costco.com for 290$.. Is this definately what I am looking for? A good MP3 player with great sound, easy to use, and not bulgy..?


Plus, I am thinking of also ordering a silicone cover from Zcover.com, does that seem a good place to get a good cover for it?



Plus, what is the difference between the iAudio X5 and the iAudio X5L?



Please guys, a quick response will be gratly appreciated :)



Thanks,
Rafi

Ah wait, the Sony one doesn't offer a radio, which is something I need in the machine...... So, does this leave me the ultimate choice of the iAudio X5? :)

Can you not get the Sony then another portable radio. There's some really nice small ones for like £5 and the Sony is one of the best HDMP3 players out now. The NW-HD5 can also be held in two different ways and no matter what way you hold it the screen and text is always the right way up because it has a tilt motion sensor inside, which is a very cool feature.

How come the 5 is cheaper..? :lol:


Anyways, I don't think I am going for the Sony one, I think I'm getting the iAudio..... I am also going to get a cover from zcover.com which seems neat.


Can someone tell me though what the difference is between the X5 and the X5L??
