[help] portable media player

Hello TL.
I'm looking for a portable media player that plays avi's straight from the computer. heres the story:

my uncle asked me to recommend a portable media player. I told him the ipod series or the zune could be something worthwhile but once i showed him the price he didn't really dig them that much. So i went about amazon/google shopping and began to show him other options when he told he wasn't the fan of converting avi to mp4 or whatever. He knows how to use a computer, but he knows only the basics and doesn't really know anything on computers unless it is in korean. So i just want to make things simpler for him and find a media player thats portable and not too expensive (willing to spend around 100-150). The problem is i have no idea what to look for. Every result i find is a mix of good and bad reviews and i can't decide in good conscience a random player that could either be the greatest thing on earth next to ipod or the biggest POS that shit out of a manufacturing plant.

Can anyone help or is this a lost cause? I have no knowledge in this field and I'm hoping that there is someone out there that does have the right info that can help me.

You should get a Cowon J3 or S9 precisely because of the reasons you state.
These players, unlike zune or ipod or basically any other media player, don't require software. It's simple drag and drop like a digital camera or something. Moreover, it has the widest compatibility of media files that I know (that is, you will not need to convert as often as you would for other players).
You say he's korean. Since Cowon is korean, you can easily switch the language to korean for menus and everything.

BTW, these players, even without these factors, are just purely fantastic. Build quality, screen qualiyt, battery life, sound quality etc.
