I did some googling on that this past weekend.  I came up with this list:

after some browsing, I was sold on the iAudio or IOPS flash devices. 
If you're looking for a HDD based player, however, the Neuros has an

As for the iRiver models, the word is they are buggy.  That could just
be FUD though.
