ZenV vs. the new IpodNano?

Question

Experienced ppl, pleaz!! If you interacted with both of them in real life, that would be great!
1. Which one has better color display?
2. Which one has better audio?
3. Which one has better navigation? Probably the Nano is, but does ZenV's navigation (the 5 way thumbwheel) any annoying?
And, I need cons of both of them (experienced ppl, only). Thanks a lot!!!

Hello AlvaDaGansta,

How are you doing? Well its pretty clear that the new iPod Nano is clearly better then the ZenV. I'll compare two comparable units, the ZenV 4GB and the iPod Nano 4GB. To answer your questions:

1. The iPod Nano has a way better screen infact the screen got 60% brighter then the previous iPod Nano. One of the downsides to the ZenV is that the screen is hard to see in the sun, due to a lack of brightness.

2. If your talking about sound quality it's pretty clear that the iPod also has an advantage because as explained on Cnet the ZenV will play these formats: Audible, MP3, WMA

whereas the iPod Nano plays there formats:
AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Audible, Apple Lossless

Clearly the iPod Nano plays CD quality sound.

3. The navigation for the new Apple iPod Nano got an upgrade and now you can search for artist by first letter and keep the search up on the screen. Cnet explained that the ZenV's navigation joystick is way to small, as is clear in the pictures. I would imagine that the ZenV's navigation is probably not that fluid because it's not a revised setup like the iPods.

Pros and Cons, well the ZenV is cheaper by about $50 bucks or so, starting at around $150, while the Nano for 4Gb is $199.99. One thing that you might want to know is that the Nano's battery life has been upgraded to 24 hours of play! While the ZenV only packs 15 hours of battery time. The Nano is smaller in Width and Depth and also weighs less than the ZenV. My advice would be get the new Apple iPod Nano, because you getting Apple's awesome Applecare, access to the Apple iTunes Music Store, and the best MP3 Player for its size and value! Goodluck, I hope you get something awesome!
