Apple paid Creative 10 million plus I think to settle the matters btw them... US dollar of course

It's the best out there... hands down... ease of use, etc... syncs seamlessly with iTunes (love iTunes btw)... works with both mac or windows... the best looking one out there...

For me, iPod got it looks and the ease of use. The strong bond between iPod and iTunes made so in love with it.

I saw the Zune in lyn homepage . It is completely nice than Ipod Video , because it can put background and the design is more beautiful than Ipod Video . Anyway i bought my Ipod Video few days ago .

I prefer the iPod's design over the Zune, actually. Microsoft hasn't released detailed specs (battery life?) or an estimated price. Creative MP3 players have allowed users to set backgrounds

now that we're discussing zune, this might be a good read. if you watched callforhelp on techtv a little while back, you should know this guy...

Now this is me talking - I choose to believe that there's ALWAYS the good and bad side of everything. Yes, even iPod. It's just the matter of weighing your choices and considering the different factors at hand. it's also good to bear in mind that the iPod you're buying is for you to USE, not DISPLAY. your friends will only marvel at your latest gadget for a couple of weeks, then the 'wow-effect' simply wears off. so choose wisely. as for zune, i think it's just another MP3 player worth checking out. but it's too early to say it's ultimately better or worse than anything else.

postscript 1: moderators, if this post is out of topic, simply remove it. i don't mind. it's just my 2 cents. cheers!

postscript 2: gonna receive my iPod video 30GB enhanced 5th Gen in a few days time, Godwilling... yay!

Thank you , before i think the zune is better than Ipod . Now i knew already the bad thing of Zune .

no probs dude, that's why we're here. to share infos..

How about Sansa e200 series from Sandisk? Have u guys looked into it?

Yeah ! I saw it before in some magazine . I think the screen is bigger than Ipod Video right ?

well...mainly about the user friendly...i just tried my friend's for a couple of minutes and i cope it all...2nd is because it's linked with iTunes...3rd is design and finally is it's accesories...just can't stop loving my iPod...

i bought ipod because of it's functionality and it's quality...

i find apple's service is good... if u find that ur ipod abit sot sot... they will replace the ipod with no question asked... and the best thing is... they giv u a new unit and only takes one week...

i bought ipod also because i could transfer photos from my digicam to the ipod for temporary storage during travelling... and it's also a music player which keep me company during boring hours of the day...

another of the reason also because of it's technology and the accesorries available for it... i find apple's design very impressive and i will keep on supporting them if their quality improves or stay the same!

and lastly... it's coolness!!!!
