I just want a MP# player that plays music and shows the stuff your playing on the screen. I was going to get a 2GB RCA one last week but got a graphics card. | |

I was going to get a 2GB RCA one last week but got a graphics card. The fun part about the MP3 players is you have the choice of two storage technologies, both of which are flawed:- micro-drive (hard disk) based storage
- flash memory based storage
Hard drives really are not designed to put up with the G-shocks of a very portable device. Thus, they tend to have short lifetimes - even shorter than one would expect from a laptop.
Flash-media has a finite lifetime, as well. If you are the type of person that is constantly changing the song-load on your flash-based MP3-player, you eventually exhaust the rewritability of the media.
Then again, the batteries will usually die before you ever reach either of those limits. Overall, I think the constant release stream for incremental feature sets is designed to get you to replace your MP3 player before you realize just how disposable they are. -- Everyday, thousands of new cars are delivered to their new owners with poorly-selected radio station presets. | |

If I were going to get one like that the zen seems cool plays allot of video formats too. Just avoid the Zune. As horrible as the iPod's iTunes software is, the Zune software manages to be even worse. The Zune software can take a formerly stable XP system and make it crashy. The iPod software you can at least avoid by using the scads of third-party replacements. What's more, there are options for other than just Windows for managing your music library if you go iPod vs. Zune. -- Everyday, thousands of new cars are delivered to their new owners with poorly-selected radio station presets. | |

 |  |  | | I think Apple will have an actual REAL use for the wi-fi feature i.e. wi-fi download of music as opposed to the lame and tired use that Microsoft has for their wi-fi feature. | |

|
 |  | | Re: bahhhhhh Its like anything tech though, there is always something better in the new model. I'm real happy with my nano though, I'm glad I bought when I did because I've gotten good use out of it at the gym, my workouts are much better now  Same with the iphone, I'll bet the 2nd one they release will be much better then the first, they will have lots of feedback to build the next. I give apple credit though, they seem to have really good knowledge on what people like. | |
