It has 8GB of flash storage and a 22 hour battery life. There is also a microSD card slot for memory expansion.
It has a 2.2 inch screen which is good for watching videos on. But, its not touchscreen, in fact it doesn’t have a single new technology in it except flash memory.
I mean this thing goes so far back its still using the click wheel interface. It does appear to be fairly cheap though retailing for a mere $130.

The T3 article you link to actually lists the price at 130 pounds (about $255), and the 8GB model has been selling since at least April 2007 for $219 at Warehouse123.

however, i did a google products search, because i’ve learned not to trust the pricing on other such sites (i mean the T3 article i linked to said it was 80GB instead of 8 right in the title, and that was wrong) and the google products showed it for the price i said from several retailers.
