| i would sugggest waiting a bit for the price of the nano to drop instead of just buying it now and then seeing a superior version of it for the same price u got urs for |

Go to First Avenue Computing on Frobisher Avenue on Waterloo.
They'll have some I'm sure. |
Or Carbon Computing at King and Victoria in Kitchener.
Or on Queen St. East (just west of Broadview) in Toronto. |

Apple mp3 players have a few distinct flaws right off the bat. First of all their bateries are internal so when it starts lossing its charging ablitiy over the course of a year or two (three if you're lucky) then you will have to pay Apple well over a $100 just to open it up and instal a new battery in it.
Creative Zen Micro's don't have this problem since you can change the battery yourself if need be. (just as an example)
My other beef with Apple mp3 players is that they run off a hard drive rather than flash media storage which makes them a lot more likely to have internal problems with moving parts, and also while highly unlikely, leaves them vaulnerable to skipping under extreme conditions (agian not likely given the buffer they keep on them but still a possiblity with any harddrive). This is just one more thing that can go wrong after your warrentee ends which will leave you f*ckered.
besides that, their pretty cool. |

Creative Zen Micro is SEX.
Built in Mic for recording lectures... yeyeyeye
FM radio.... yeyeyeyeye
my only beef is the touchpad... kind of awkward for me still.
iPods have become such a "trend whore" fashion accessory.... |

as for the zen mirco touch pad, you can adjust the settings so it isn't as sensitive. I found that helped me a lot with it. Now I wouldn't trade it for any other smaller sized similar product out there. |

Yea, a mic would be GREAT for that, ing eh matt, never considered that (and here I thought id never find a good purpose for the built-in mic... not, though, that im in class, but back then that'd have been AWESOME! ;))
And I agree w/ ur iPod statement.... but i still have one too! ;) Hehehehehe :disbelief |
