The iPod, the Zune, Zen, or any other MP3 Player are all pretty much the same as far as what they were made for. However all of them have there flaws and also there benefits, except the Zen, the Zen by far is the worst out of all 3 of them. It is basically a cheap imitation of the iPod showing no real benefits, just flaws. The only thing I can see that is good out of getting a Zen is the money you save, it is not much, but you save.

The Zune does have a larger screen, and Wi-Fi capability, but the screen is the only good thing. With Wi-Fi, sure, you can exchange music, but only for a limited time, it would be the same as if you switched you iPod with a friend for a limited time. The Zune is very ugly, just like the Zen, except the fact that the Zune looks like a gigantic plastic box.

Other MP3 players are just cheap imitations based around the iPod, sure some of them work, but if you really want to look good with your MP3 Player, the iPod is the way to go. With those little MP3 Players the benefits are just price, and that is about it.

The iPod has an endless amount of benefits. First off, it looks great, so nice and shiny, with that mirror-like chrome back plating on the video. With the nano, you get a range of color choices. Also with the nano, the size amounts are perfect for whatever anyone is looking for. The ipod is centered on one thing, simplicity, everything is within reach with a thumb, and perfectly placed. The iPod has many products already made and perfectded specifically for the iPod. With an iPod, you will look good. Sure the price is higher, but look at all the benefits you are getting with it. With the video capable MP3 Players, it is very hard, actually quite near impossible to find for them. However with the iPod no matter where you get the video, there is a number of converters made specifically for the iPod. I use Videora myself, and I love it, I have well over 50 movies and have never thought of switching to a different MP3 Player.

Simply put the iPod is the highest ranking as far as market sales and satisfaction. If you go iPod, you won’t go wrong. Hope this helps you decide what way you wish to go!

iPods are very over-rated and over-priced. Their cool factor comes from the fact that Apple's marketing department says they are and there are a lot of mindless sheep that believe it. Personally I find the things ugly. As for features, things that other players have standard (such as radios, voice recording, alarm clocks, etc) an iPod needs an addon to have which will cost even more money if you want it. While another player that has those features already might cost you US$100, the iPod when you add in the costs of the addons needed will run you well over US$200. They're just not worth the price.

Now which is better out of the remaining brands depends a lot on what you want out of the player and your budget. You need to look at things like formats played, do you want it to display photos, do you want watch video, etc. After you decide that you need to look at what price you're willing to spend. There are a few budget players out there which are just as good as the more expensive brands that will save you some cash if you're on a tight budget. Just do your homework, compare features and prices, and you'll be OK. Just whatever you do DON'T buy anything from a street vendor. If you do I can guarantee you will be kicking yourself in the morning because you will have gotten scammed.

its true ipods rule. what is best is probably up to how much you can spend. if you have a lot of money get the 80gb video i pod or better yet an i phone.
