The zune is ugly as (and last time i checked, all its innovative features are severely crippled or limited) and the Ipod is continually re-inventing itself with brand new shiny stupid .
All I can attest to is that iPods output excellent sound, although I don't know if this is attributed to listening to AAC-encoded music rather than MP3.
The world has always been for Creative :) |

Card gaming will never be the same, and you are ready to purchase this with the 'Magic' mod when it goes for sale! |
Oddly enough, I saw a third of the top floor at a SEGA arcade in Akihabara dedicated to digital card games like that. |

I don't really get the point in getting one. It costs basically the same as the iPhone but has 16gb instead of 8gb for 400$. Really in my opinion, if I were going to get that small of a hard-drive for my mass amount of music I'd want the extra bang for my buck and I'd just go and get an iPhone.
I still don't do really anything at all with my old 2G iPod other than listen occasionally. I'm too lazy to even upload new stuff to it. But who knows, I might eventually buy one if I'm not too cheap :p |
one thing you fail to realize is that the touch and iphone arent hard drive based. they are flash based which means quicker access to music and none of the hd failure problems. and flash memory can alter its memory allocation when areas of it go bad. |

| I'd recommend getting the 160GB iPod instead. That's what I'm getting, since like someone else said I would fill up 16GB in 10 minutes... |

I've really never understood why the look of an MP3 player matters. Because, ya know, when I'm listening to my music it's comforting to know that the player hiding in my pocket looks better than everyone elses. 
I'd also apply the same thing to phones, given the amount of time they're spent in pockets. |

I'm holding out, though. I dunno what for.
Enjoy your Touch. :) |
hehe i feel this way too. i dun have anything.
i feel like there is something better than what is available...or at least - more simple! there is always a hook, or a hurdle to todays players.
i know thats due to the music industry, but it feels like a floppy disk that you have to subscribe to...WHY CANT YOU JUST USE IT AS YOU WANT, simply.
removable disk, music, whatever. its either not simple or not cheap or both. when i can get 1gb microSD for 6 dollars, why does a flash player cost 200 for 8 or an hd with 60 for 300? memory isnt as expensive and that should be passed on to consumers|
(in many cases i know the answers to these issues, they still frustrate me, and thats why i dont have anything yet...) |

i get that, but flash mem has lost production cost faster than hd, but hard drives are cheaper? huh?
flash is superior, and i get that a mem card is cheaper to mass produce than a player. but there are many many flash players, with perhaps not as much space, but easily half the price, half the size...(better sound:creative)...than apple.
but not as trendy. creatives have their issues too..but i dunno| |

Duh, because it's all about how cool the product you use is, not how good.
Hence why the iPod, which is a completely useless piece of , has been so popular. |
