My advice would be to build with what you know.

Even if you need to really shoehorn a component of the system in, just make a note about it and keep building. When you're done, you can go back and focus on replacing that one piece.

My view is that you learn a lot through the process of building this way.

I really wish phones would change the UI to make it more obvious that caller ID shouldn't be trusted.

Sansa Clip 1 GB from 2008 still going strong here. I use it to listen to podcasts with wired earbuds while going on walks.

I love the physical buttons and simple lcd screen for status.

I do wish I had purchased one that accepted a microSD card like yours though.

Kindle is another example of a single-tasking device I enjoy using.

yeah, I had to submit an amended return because free fillable forms decided to discard a form and went through with the submission anyway :(
