What could be better than an iPod?

I'm looking for a compact portable mp3 player with plenty of storage and decent organizing.  Something to use with a whole MP3 library.  Something with good battery life that isn't too bulky.  Any suggestions?

Firm note.
It's the Wintel that's the problem not the iPod.

"iPods fail at battery life".  Yeah, that's happened.  Apple doesn't make batteries they buy them, so that will change.

"and music formats".  Formats you say?  VHS is inferior to Beta but who won that one?

But if what you've got works for you. Cool.
