Just so you know, they are on back order with J and R. I ordered one and was 
notified last week.

>> I just received my Coby MP200 MP3 player from J&R, and it is truly simple

>> buttons arranged in a vertical column.  From top to bottom, the buttons 
>> are skip forward, play/pause/power, skip backward, volume up and volume 
>> down.  Pressing and holding the second button from the top for 5 seconds 
>> turns the unit on, and pressing and holding it again for 5 seconds turns 
>> it off.  That's all there is to it.  The bottom of the unit has a USB 
>> connector that plugs directly into a USB port, although a separate USB 
>> cable is also included.  You just plug it into your PC and copy and paste 
>> the MP3 files you want to download.  Just install the included AAA 
>> battery and you're good to go.  The sound quality is surprisingly good, 
>> at least using a better pair of earbuds than the included ones.  There is 
>> absolutely no learning curve, and no sighted assistance is required to 
>> use it.  The included software, which I have not tried yet, is fully JAWS 
>> accessible.  With 2gb of memory, it can hold up to 1,000 songs.  This is 
>> probably the best blind accessible MP3 deal ever.  It is still available 
>> from J&R for $10 with free shipping, but they probably won't last much 
>> longer at that price.  They make wonderful stocking stuffers.  The 
>> hardest part of using this gizmo is getting it out of the plastic blister 
>> pack which requires a heavy duty scissors to cut open.
