    Yeah really man, Like john said, who cares?

    Its just a simple rip off of the ipod including absolutely no amazing features...

    other than the fact that zen entered the mp3 market before apple and that the zen has a better feature set*, everything you said was correct.


    *based on supporting FM radio, voice recording and more file formats

    Just to clear it up, Creative sued Apple, (Creative>Apple), for copying the design of ZVM for iPod 5G. Apple paid 100M$ to settle it out of court.

    And the features are better than iPod, ZVM can play WMV9, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG4-SP including DivX 4 & 5, XviD, Motion-JPEG while iPod can only play MP4 and H.264-L. Plus, you don't need to rescale the video to play it on ZVM which the iPod can't. ZVM also can play WMV which iPod can't. Hey, that's 3 for ZVM. Want more?

    ZVM has more color pixels than iPod. (262k>65K)About 3 times more than iPod. ZVM has longer lasting batteries. About a year longer before they die and longer video playback (4hours>2hours). Lastly, ZVM has built-in radio, radio recorder and voice recorder. All for 169$.

    F*ck iPod.

    It's also huge (in the sense of a portable media player.) If you think the Zune is thick, hold a Zen.

    Did anyone see the youtube video i posted?? haha

    I do admit its a little chunky however ipod got sued by creative for copying their display format

    But it still rules over Ipod - Tell me how many people have ipods & how many have got Zens - I would rather get something different than something that is WHORED totally

    another good point to not getting an ipod is that they aren't stolen as easily and that you're mroe likely to get it back in the lost and found if you loose it...
