Non-Apple MP3 player recommendations?

I am looking to get a new non apple MP3 player, to replace an Apple iPod.

Now, lets make it clear I do not want an Apple. They are expensive, and have locks to prevent use of other than licensed accessories. Because of that, I will have nothing to do with Apple.

Now what I need:

At least 8 GB.

Expandable with SD/MicroSD/other affordable flash.

Has navigable screen ( no displayless "shuffle" models.

FM Radio.

AAA or Li-Po battery.

Standard mini-USB or a dock connector.

Can separately handle music and audio podcasts like iPod can.

Optional:

Remote control (wired okay) or easily navigable front buttons to run from a case.

Dock

Power from USB/Dock.

Can play video.

Syncs with iTunes

Built in+expansion memory as one big space.

Budget:$150 Canadian, including 8GB or more of expansion.

Available at Canadian retailers is good.

Need I add: No Apple.

Update:

The Sansa Fuze is my first consideration, I just wonder if there is a better value out there.

Oh, and I use shuffle as my primary means of listening to music, and really like it..
