[raj_in]

ok thnks

[raj_in]

but its only a 4gb option the 8 gb costs 9990 so my question remains is d ipod touch at 11k better

[desiibond]

I think you can go for ipod touch if 3" display and speaker is a must.

I bought cowon D2, mainly for the amount of audio customization. bough 4gb model for 8.5k and two cards (4gig + 8gig) for another 2k. So, I ahve around 16Gb of memory. But this one has 2.5" display and does not have external speaker.

here is my review of D2: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107883

Hi,

Samsung P2 is the best mp4 player for the price.
4 months back I bought it at HyperCity mall @ Malad, Mumbai for 9900 rs.
I have heard that newer model called P3, is also available for the same cost.

Do mail me In case you need more info.
