The new iRiver H10 has just started shipping from Amazon and is taking direct aim at the ipod mini. It has 5gb, plays mp3 and WMA and has a 1.5" color screen and jpeg viewer (and it comes in assorted colors like the mini). Voice recording, FM tuner and FM recording and a purported 12 hour battery life in a 3.4 ounce unit could make this one to consider.

On the other hand at a $279.00 asking price you also might want to consider something else.
