iPod Overrated?

[abu_has_the_power]

the ipod just came out with this thing called the ipod nano. it does look pretty sweet. but compared to my pimpriver h320, all it's got is size. my pimpriver pwns it in everything else

[suprafreak6]

already a news thread on that

So let me get this straight..

iPods use iTunes to transfer music (no drag and drop).
iRiver and Creative Zen dont need extra software (drag and drop supported).
And what about Sony? Does it need extra iTune-ish software to work?

And as for what files they stuport, iPods only do music/pics while the others include movies yes?

the iriver h320, not the h10, allows u to play divx and xvid @ 500kb/s or less @ 10fps. but only if u get the newest firmware (1.2 and up)

the others don't do shit.

there's another one now. it's called the cowon iaudio x5. not much better than the h320. it does play both ogg and flac, and it plays video @ 15fps.

I wanted one of those Creative Zen Media Players with 20gb hard drives. I just wanted to know how to store movies on portably media players. Are all movie types able to play, avi, mpeg, mpeg2?

[abu_has_the_power]

i think they only play avi.

does anybody have any info or personal experience with these players that they can share. I just want to know if its worth $600
