Outside of Apple and Archos, there's very little in the way of HDD-based small media players. But it's currently the only way to get capacities over about 16GB economically. Flash just isn't cheap enough or small enough for the higher capacities. Note the iPod classic is currently a 80GB or 160GB, the latter approaching the max capacity of the larger 2.5" Laptop drives, but using a 1.8" drive instead.
