I received a new toy today, a AWA MP4 player.Its visually virtually identical to an iPod Nano, as can be seen to the right, with it sitting next to my wife's Gen1 iPod Nano.
The memory is the same (2gb) but the AWA plays videos, has a recorder, and allows you to watch movie files.
The unit came with an AC adapter, USB cable, Headphones, Adapter to attach to external unit.
The main issue is the user interface is somewhat clumsy, the headphone socket s 2.5mm rather than the standard 3.5mm, however they provide an adapter to manage this difference.
The little screen looks pretty reasonable, definitely larger than the old iPod, but playing video is slightly jerky. Sound quality is excellent compared to my old MP3 player, bu the headphones may have something to do with this (I am using Apple headphones for my old MP3 player) because the new ones are moderately nice, but large.
The most important feature is the price, which was $98 NZ for the 2gb unit, from Dick Smith.
