It blatently owns all.  40 gig of mp3 to choose from! The only other thing I need is an in car charger, as the ipod battery isn't the best. As it's an FM station I can control the volume via my steering wheel controls. Changing albums may be an issue, but I just do it at traffic lights :) I have an iTrip FM Transmitter for my car.
