Might take a look at the devices that Rockbox supports:
http://www.rockbox.org. They all would have Ogg playback and recording
capabilities, despite what their original specs may be.

I'm not sure if they support any USB-sized ones, though. In general,
I'd recommend buying an iPod and putting Rockbox on it or, if you
really want to avoid Apple altogether, a Cowon iAudio X5, with or
without Rockbox. (I have the latter. It's a nice device, about the
size of a full-size iPod, but not as slick. At the time I bought
it--before I knew about Rockbox--it was the only one that played FLACs
with a color screen.)

Hope this helps in some way,
Andrew
