Try to get one with a Li-ion rechargeable battery. If I were in the market i's still be tempted by a Sony (endless battery life and good sound) despite the many correct comments around that you have to use Sony's own software with the player.

I've got a Zen Nano and can heartily recommend it.

It's got a good, bright screen, very good sound quality, is flash based, so good for the gym, will play a bunch of different sound formats, has a good equaliser, FM radio, drag-and-drop (no software needed...) etc etc...

The only thing it doesn't have is a rechargable battery...but a duracel battery lasts a good 10-15 hours at least in my experience. (plus, when the battery fails you can buy another one, instead of having to replace the whole unit as with rechargables...)

I would also have suggested the Zen Stone (shuffle-beater, I guess), but it seems that won't be out in time.

Good reviews for products from Sumvision, battery does not recharge but at that price you can buy some rechargeables.

4GB will hold more than enough MP3's, it has a built in FM radio and it won't break the bank if he decides its not for him.

Or a blue one for a few quid less.
