TrekStor is a German company that is just starting to make inroads here in the States. They’re offering two models with a rubberized scroll wheel and an amazing look. These are hard drive based with 8GB or 12GB and actually look like contenders for the Coolest MP3 Player trophy that I saw at the sporting goods store last week.

I own two iPods. Great idea, but not very durable. My next purchase will be for something that will last longer than the year warranty.
Not bad, it really can occur
