I also got to try out my new MP3 player, an iRiver iHP-120. This thing
is an ipod killer IMHO. The backlit remote keeps the unit itself on the
ground or in a storage pocket away from harm, the FM tuner works very
well (particularly aloft, as one would expect), and the battery life is
amazing (first charge, 15 hours). I highly recommend looking into it if
you're looking for music but don't want to drop $3K+ on a panel mount.

Enjoyed reading about your flight. I assume that there is no problem with
the iRiver skipping or locking up while in the aircraft?

I have an Archos 20Gb MP3 Jukebox that has to sit on my lap to protect it
for the slightest vibration. Otherwise, if the device sits anywhere,
including the empty copilot seat, it will lock up due the vibration and
require a hard reset.
