Hi all,
I have a 200 gift cert that I need to spend quick. I have been looking to get a portable MP3 player with atleast 3GB of space for music. I have narrowed it down to two, which both have their advantages and their disadvantages from what I have read. They both cost right around $225-$250. I wanted to get some feedback from the users at this forum, who might have had experience with either or both of these products. The two I have to choose from are:
Apple Ipod 4GB Nano ($250) and the Creative Zen 8GB MicroPhoto ($225):
They both have their pros and cons:
4GB vs 8GB
flash mem vs hard drive
both pretty much the same price
both have color screens
both have photo capabilities
both look very nice (Nano probably slightly better)
Nano scratches very easily vs zen not as easily
Nano slightly smaller and thinner than the Zen
Nano needs proprietary software to store songs vs Zen can drag and drop
I just don't know. I keep going back and forth. I was hoping people here could give their input or suggestions. Thanks again.
