The biggest problem with new generation mp3 players are that they do not have user removable batteries.

Its a great player, with great Creative sound quality. Its pretty much like the iPod, but I am a huge Creative fan, due to the sound quality.

If actually want something that plays videos, get it. If you want something more simple with a removable battery, get the Creative Zen Mirco Photo.

Where does it say that the Zen Vision:M battery is not removable?

Creative Zen Vision:M Specs
It does not explicitly state a removable battery, which means it not user replaceable.

campare to:
Creatie Zen Micro Photo Specs
Explicitly states there is a removable battery.

Two reasons:
1) If you are like me, and travel a lot, I like to take extra batteries with me. When i go away fro the weekend or camping or to a cottage, i take 3 batteries with me, giving me about 30-40 hours of playback

2) If you start to become unhappy with the performance of the battery, as overtime it will lose its ability to hold a charge, you can swap it out yourself, rather than sending it to Creative to do it yourself.

For something in those price/feature ranges, you might as well get a Pocket PC, as I have done
