    My MP3 player recently gave up the ghost, and i'm also looking for a mini digital camcorder to film some of my lifts so i can analyse them. A combination device would be perfect.

    It needs to be a) robust, and b) small (pocket-sized).

    Someone said to me the other night i should get an iPhone, but that would mean i'd have to be on a contract for £20-odd a month. Seeing as i only spend about £4 a month with Asda Mobile on pay-as-you-go, i'm not willing to do that.

    The closest device i've seen to what i want is the Archos 404, which has some very good reviews. However, it is hard-drive based, and i'm worried that if it gets knocked or moved quickly in the gym it will start skipping tracks, etc.

    For Crimbo I got a new digital camera, it's a Samsung i8, and I think it's perfect for ya.

    It takes very good videos for a compact digital camera and it has a built in MP3 player function. On top of that it has a whole bunch of extras like face recognition, self shot, fun effects and you can edit videos and photos on the camera itself.

    If you wanna know specs of video it takes 320x240 640x480 and one in between one which I don't remember, these are perfect sizes I think because they don't take up much space and they're easily visible even on a computer screen. Oh and you can choose a frame rate, 15, 20 and 30.

    Excellent. The i8 looks like a great piece of kit. The Amazon product page doest give the proper dimensions of it - is it as small enough to fit into one of those MP3 player pouches you can strap to your arm for when you'r using it in the gym?

    Yeah the I8 is tiny, I just measured it for you because I can't find the specs on the internet or manual. It's approximately 100mm x 65mm, if that seems off I can double check.

    Wow, thats quite small. Perfect to fit in my pocket when in the gym then. Could you also tell me the depth of it please? The Samsung site says it only has 190MB of usable memory (although you can use SD cards to boost it). Is that right?

    I can do and it measures at approximately 20mm.

    Yeah it has 256mg of memory but 66 of that is used up by it's various applications so you get 190 which is still a really good amount for a camera and yeah it can be boosted by using an SD card. SD cards are almost dirt cheap these days as well. LINK
