That are the facts. In a first look an iPod is the ONE It's sophisticated, awesome looking and it leads edge of mp3 players. Also it's well know all over the world and there are thousands of gadgets for it. But on another hand we have Creative's player which isn't so sexy like predecessor but it has a lot of features that iPod hasn't. And that's the question.

As a music player, I'm very happy with my standard iPod, and I wouldn't pay for either of these to have video playback.  But if I had the cash...

It'd have to be the creative zen for the vastly superior video format support.

Actually the sony walkman series is better. Try out a Sony NW-A608 (2GB) sometime

Waaaaay more battery life, waaaaay quicker recharging and better sound quality, looks etc as well

I just said I'm very happy with what I've got, why would I want to go out and buy something else, especially when it has 10% of the capacity.

There are higher capacity ones too
Im just saying that you might want to consider as well sony next time

tbh if i wanted video id rather go for a nokia n93 than either of these. n93 is hawt!

My ipod is the best purchase I have made in a long time.

i want an ipod again

Creative owns, once again.

i have an ipod video, if you are going for the 4 gig nano, for 50 dollars more, buy the ipod video, not for the video, but for the space
4 gigs is too small for me
but 30 is too big..
better more than less...

iPod, i don't like Creative's Navigation system. It's so... bad...
