after a long debate i decided the best solution for me is probably to get this device:
http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/h...A811AA%2523ABA
it has everything i want (gps, mp3, wifi, bluetooth phone, touchscreen) for 400 on ebay and it's all set to go.
my only concern is i am not sure there is a mp3 player for windows mobile 5.0 that has search capabilities. I tried searching online for a good hour but it is a hard thing to try to find. does anyone know if such a thing exists. also, from your experience, will using a sd card to store music make it awfully slow?
it would be nice if someone made a frontend for windows mobile but based on my searches on here the sole project has been abandoned.
so if anyone has experience doing what I plan on doing and/or a media player with search capabilities for windows mobile id appreacite it.
thanks.
