Cute, but where's the recorder(s)? iRiver devices in the same price
range includes mic recording, FM recording, and line-in recording, and
more hours of battery life (from 17-40, depending on whether you're
playing digital music or the included FM radio):

vs.

http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

iRivers also play WMA and the open source OGG format in addition to
MP3. AAC is alright, but I only use it when I'm buying music through
iTunes, which I haven't done since getting into podcasting.

Additionally, according to consumer reports, iRivers also have better
sound than iPods, though that will always be subjective. (I also
haven't heard the sound on the iPod Shuffle devices yet, so I can't
report on that myself.)
