Im toying the idea of exchanging my Ipod to the Zen creative? But do they work better than the Ipods?

Ipods are way better! Even though the zen has the desktop. Ipod nanos have games, clock, contacts, notes and more! I just got mine over a zen mp3 yesterday.

NO! iPod - The Creative Zen is an imaatation, and has lots and lots of glitches. My cousin got a creative zen for christmas and had 4 viruses by the 1st day. She called the company and they gave her major attitude. She sold her Zen on eBay and bought an iPod. My boyfriend bought the Zen about 2 months ago - hated it. Slow. Not as many functions. Less capacity. He also had corrupted files on it. Called the company and he didn't get any answers. iPod - All the way! E-mail me and I can tell you all about iPods. Functions, Features, accesories.

I did my research and i found that the crative zen vision:m wins hands down.I am sure you will want a breakdown of my findings so here it goes.
1.the vision has a high definition 265,000 colour screen while the ipod has only a 65,000 colur screen, this is important when viewing videos and pictures
2. the vision has a built in fm radio and 10 hour voice recorder, which are optional extras on the ipod (50$ for fm and 70 $ for external mic for voice recording)
3.the sound quality is the most important factor in music players.this is measured in siginal to noise ratio, the higher the better, the vision has a rating of 97 decibels while the ipod has 82db
4. The vision supports music services such as yahoo, rhapsody,napster,musicmatch etc if you want purchase music online while ipods can only use itunes.
5.ipods are prone to battery failure in the first 18 months , do a google search and find the lawsuits apple are in for this.
6. vision supports 7 video formats such as divx and xivd, there are free conversion programs on the net which will allow you to convert your dvds to this format to transfer to your vision.while ipods use apple property quicktime video format , you have to buy the video conversion program from them.
7. ipods can only use itunes to import music from your computer but it is a very unstable program with frequent crashs and and was voted by cnet as one of the worst programs this year becuase it was built for macs and not pc's.install itunes at your own risk.the vision can sync with various programs suchas windows media player,music match,media monkey and thier own creative media explorer
8. yes apple sell allot more ipods than the vision but you have to consider this , the ipod is in its 5th year.when ipods first came out the first year they did not sell that many.give creative a chance.
9.creative has a backgournd is digital music, they make digital sound recording equipment and hifi systems under the cambridge soundworks name which they own.They are so good they are comapred to bose and harmon kardon.While ipods are made by apple and thier background is making computers.
10.support sites such as epizenter.net are filled with tutorials and
creative fans who love thier player
good luck in your quest for a good mp3 player

I heard they don't work as well and don't have long battery life like iPods.
