For Christmas I had the oppurtunity to add another DAP to my collection. I was considering the iRiver iHP-120 most of all, but also the Creative Zen Xtra, the Rio Karma, and in the end, the Gateway DMP-X20. The Gateway model just went on sale this month (

I went down to the local Gateway store to check it out. Only one display unit there, but they let me play with it. I loved the way it looked, and the screen and controls were top-notch. It was smaller than it looked from the pics on Gateway's site. I...

Sucks Like A Hoover

The only advantage to this unit is the price.
