I wonder if you could get an iPod Classic and upgrade the storage/replace the battery...

There is a whole modding community around the iPod video/classic.

You can replace the hard drive with MicroSD/SD or compact flash cards.

You can buy different color faceplates/backplates, upgrade the batteries, etc.
