    People like you should be banned from using portable electronics.

    The 4G iPods use the same HD supplier as the Zens have always used -- Seagate builds durable drives.

      I talked myself into that one . I love my iPod. Great interface and design with great sound quality, AND I got it for only a small amount more than the 20 GB Zen Touches were selling for at the time (about $270).

      Btw, I see you didn't acknowledge that I proved you were full of ****... like usual.

        The Ipod has neither great interace nor does it have great sound quality. How the hell can you support the fact that the ipod has great sound quality? It sucks compared to the Creative..

        I'm full of ****? ****.. his ipod was in pieces and he sent me a photo of it too...

              Flash will be outdated by the time those capacities become reasonable.

                Apparently the Zen Micro 4GB is now all of $179...

                  Ipods do not have "great" sound quality. Adequate, perhaps. I borrowed my roommate's Ipod for a time, and the difference between that and my CD player was very, very noticeable (I even used the same headphones).

                  Creative's players are consistently rated among the the highest for sound quality. No audible difference between it and premium CD players, according to several reviews I've read.

                    That's really sweet.. in my price range..

                    But I still love my old portable CD player...

                      I thought you enjoyed Fez baiting .

                      Hey, Fez, the signal to noise ratio isn't a wide gulf here. I bet you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference (I know I can't, and I've listened to both). I'm willing to accept the Zen Touch has a better SNR, but I have no idea just by listening to it. Maybe it's easier to tell with classical, I dunno.

                      And the interface is great. Simple, elegant, clear. What else do you need in an interface?

                        Creative makes some fine products. My problem is I like the reliability and small size of the flash players but I want the capacity of the hard-disk players.

                          IIRC, Asher stated that Zen Touch's have a 96 SnR while the iPod have a 92 SnR (right, Asher?). That's not a whole Hell of lot there.

                            I like my Sony Clie that has a MP3 player built in.. that's adequate for me. I wouldn't rather wasting my money on an Ipod, like you did Imran. But hey to each his own....

                              I would ask for those pics, but I fear he saves those pics in the same folder with his nudie shots.

                                92dB to 98dB is huge on a logarithmic scale (to be clear for the arts students 100 is twice as clear (half the noise per signal) than 90 is)). It's not just that measurement, it's every other one I can think of...THD, stereo crosstalk, etc.

                                Creative uses a chip made by Yamaha, and Apple uses one from a company called "PortalPlayer". Is it any wonder that one of those companies can design higher quality audio components?
