Default Redundant iPod question - 12-31-2005, 12:54 AM

Ok, got some bucks and want to purchase an MP3 player. I kinda like the "flash memory" players over the "HDD" players.

I can get a 4G nano for $250 or a 4G Creative Zen for $200.

I'd rather save the $50 and pick up the Zen. What do you guys think?

Flash memory is nice, no moving parts to fuck up if you drop it. Go with the nano.

I wish they had 30 gig flash memory ipods that read as fast as HDDs.

I say pick up the zen micro, but pay $30 more ($230 total) and get 6gigs of space rather than the 4.

Who really wants to play movies on something thats meant to be for portable music? Whole point of an mp3 player is music on the move same as a walkman. Dunno how many people wanna be walking down the street staring at a 2 inch screen or whatever squinting at the movie theyre trying to watch. oOo:
