I love my Gen4 20gig iPod (colour screen), i have a PC and its still easy to use for me...But im a tech geek...I now have something in everyone of my 4 pockets: iPod, Nintendo DS, Phone & wallet. Also have a desktop PC and laptop (both P4's). Gawd i've turned into such a tech geek. Im just anti sony tho, so my opinion will be biased.

I have an iRiver H340, and I love it like a small electronic child. :happy: :P
iRiver > iPod
buy a nomad
Ipods are dead
Get a PMC or PMP and you'll see how much better it is. Creative Zen 20gb PMC is the best thing ever, I got mine a week ago, and let me say its well worth every penny I paid for it. It has a 3.8" LCD screen, supports a lot of formats, removable and recharable battery, carrying case, headphones and a bunch of other stuff. Considering it plays videos, its awesome. As of right now I have on there all the Futurama eps, all the Family Guy eps, all the Trailer Park Boys eps, a lot of music (lots of albums, oh and a picture automatically gets transferred to the player which is the album picture) and some movies with 5gb leftover.
Or look at the Iriver PMC-120, it has a smaller screen than the Creative Zen 20gb PMC (3.5" compared to 3.8") but has a lot more features, the difference being 50 bucks.
I won the Ipod mii from pepsi, I used it twice. the backlight didnt work so i sent it back got a new one and now i'm selling it. I hate Itunes, i really do. I think I'll buy a PSP with the money.

The iRiver H100 series is unbeatable with the Rockbox firmware; Gapless playback and FLAC support ... the only alternative for me would be the Rio Karma with gapless, flac and that sweet 5-Band parametric EQ, too bad that Rio is out of business. I'd never buy a player without gapless support.
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
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?
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
