Creative Labs Nomad MuVo2 4 GB MP3 Player $140 AR at Amazon
Amazon.com has the
Creative Labs Nomad MuVo2 4 GB MP3 Player for $190 -
$50 rebate = $140 with free shipping. Holds 128 hours of WMA music or 64 hours of MP3 on its 4GB hard drive.

Fight the high gas prices!
The Chase PerfectCard gives you 6% cash back on gas purchases for the first 90 days and 3% cash back after that. All other purchases earn you a straight 1% cash back. All the rebates you earn are automatically credited to your account. There's no annual fee for the first year, but there is a $19 fee after that if you don't use your card at least 9 times in a year.
