iPod or Zune?

You can also store and playback photos and practically ANY video format, the resolution on the screen is fantastic, extremely clear. The player itself weighs practically nothing and is the size of a credit card (more or less).

It also has a SD HC slot so if you decide you need more space, you can pick up a 4GB SD HC card pretty cheap, with 8GB and 16GB SD HC cards slowly coming on the market as well.

As well as my brother having this, I've also owned a Zen Touch as well as my current MP3, the Zen Vision:M. Not once have I had a problem with either, and I have not been let down in any way by them.

If you enjoy audio fidelity as much as I do, then there's no alternative to Creative players as the company specialises in audio products.

I've had a 30GB Video iPod for about 2.5 years now, and the only issues that I've had have been from the firmware upgrades and/or newer versions of iTunes. Of course, being a huge Google fanatic, I can usually resolve that with a 30 minute search party. I'm sure this is a rarity, and not meant to turn you down. Although if you do ever come across a problem, at least you have a peace of mind knowing that you can find help online....

Is that the one you got? I'm looking for a nice FM tuner I can use while working out.

Same price and works with the iPod

The FM tuner works pretty well and picked up a quality signal. There were a few mid channels that didn't pick up in the same spot I was sitting in, but once I moved around, I was able to pick up with no issues.




How is that the same price though? That's a $50 add-on...

So now he's at $200.

So again, that price is far from being "similar."
