the person who gives me the best review i will choose for the best answer

Answer 1

the Creative labs mp3 players were never defective, there was only 1 model that was, the Creative Zen Micro, which has since been discontinued.

I do not own a Zen Sleek, sorry, but i want them 10 points (I only need like 30 more till i get to lvl 4), so may i reccomend the Creative Zen Vision: M, it has a bigger screen, better controlls, and plays video!! this will cost ya 199.99 at Amazon.com and Bestbuy.

I wrote a review for it on amazon.com and it was comparing the zen to the ipod, its a really good review. ill copy any paste it (i swear its mine, i wrote it)

First thing that came to mind when looking at this player is:
30 bucks more than ipod! whats with that? but after hands on experience, and lots of reasearch, i come to think that the extra 30 bucks is well worth it.
for the 30 bucks more you can charge your system with the INCLUDED ac adapter (ipod does not offer) and with the 30 dollars you get a pouch, simaler than the one that comes with the ipod, but one of the biggest things it has over the ipod, is simply, Battery life. ipod gets a rated of 3 hours (on apple.com) of video, and creative gets rated 4 hours (on Creative.com) of video playback i have not been able to test this....yet, because i simply do not watch many videos on a 2.5 inch screen but, is great for subway, airplane, passenger of car, and so on. and the last thing i want state, FM tuner and FM tuner Recording. Ever head a good song on radio, and consider buying the CD, but fin most other songs on the CD arent the best? This is for you, tune in to your favorite station, and press record when you hear a good song, and press END record after song is over, and wallah you have a free song :) it may not be the best quality, but, as long is there is no serious distortion its all good.

NOW on to the acutal unit:
as you know, Apple Ipod released a simaler design about 2 months before creative, apple clearly has a head start.
Apples design is sleeker, smaller, lighter, and (in my opinion) better looking.

and for those of you who think creative just plain out copied Apple. THEY DIDNT. Apple released iPod design and whatnot about 1 month before releasing it in stores. 1 month! SO lets say creative wanted to copy iPod, They would have to study the ipods design, make the design somewhat distinct, put creative software into it, build the inside of the unit, and manufacture all the units, and craetive a name, advertise, and lots more in less than 5 months, simply put, IMPOSSIBLE no way they could do that.

Things iPod Vid. has over Creative:

1 Sleek design
2 Size
3 Popularity (accesories)
4 price
5 Click wheel (can go both ways good an bad)
6 games, notes, lyric reading

Things Creative has over iPod Vid.

1 FM tuner & FM tuner Recording
2 Interface (can go both ways good an bad)
3 battery life
4 color varieation
5 AC outlit charging ( no need for a nearby computer)
6 doesnt ONLY use 1 software
7 Microphone

of course i am probibly missing some pros and cons for both iPod and Creative. but i think i covered all the big ones.

all in all

they both rule. if you want a pupular styilsh device, DEFINITLY go with the cheaper iPod.

if you are more tworads quality and custimization, go for the zen vision: M

update: April 24, 2006

Spending more time with this player i realize my review was incorrect in several places:

1: the zen's batery life says 4 hours vid, but ive only gotten 2.5, 3 hr tops. and only 11-12 hrs for music.

Ive also found a bass problem, its really weak unless you ahve it on full blast volume but then it's just too loud.

ive had it freeze up on me more than it should. and when i restart it it takes almost 10 min to reload my 20 gigs of media...VERY ANNOYING.

perhaps they have fixed these problems in the newer units, i dont know because i bought this when it first came out.

------------------------
To prove that it is mine, the author is "Mario C".. that isnt really hard proof, but it should be enough, its my review.

here is the link of which i got it from:
http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Zen-Vision-Video-Player/dp/B000CS7U1C/sr=8-1/qid=1166999060/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-9874778-0617465?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

and as the review said, you may e-mail me at [e-mail] for more information and whatnot.









------------
and before you say anything:
there are some incorrect thing in my review, my review as written almost a year ago, and they have fixed some things that i stated like:

The zen vision is NO LONGER 30 DOLLARS more than the ipod

The Zen vision DOES NOT INCLUDE an AC ADAPTER

thanks, i cannot tell you how many e-mails i have gotten about that.

Answer 2

i assume i don't have a innovative lab... so i visit bypass with my iPod, by using fact i like it! specific, it cost me a enormously penny, yet it replaced into somewhat worth each dime! i exploit it all of the time, and its so distinctive. i can play it in one hundred distinctive settings and techniques. In my vehicle, at domicile, on an identical time as i'm exercising, in college, on my lunch ruin, at paintings.... nicely, you get the factor. Its compact and uncomplicated to apply, to no longer point out I even have sufficient songs to final me a lifetime! All of that's thoroughly custom to my flavor and utilization!

Answer 3

You should choose the best answer because it is the best answer, not because of bribery. Where are your ethics? Is this the way you conduct things in real life??
