Im looking for advice on a new MP3 player (or PMP) my old one died a couple of years ago (Creative zen xtra 40gb) and I never really got around to replacing it but now im doing a lot of travelling and working off shore and i really need a media player, i usually have my laptop but dont/cant always get it out everywhere. Anyway what I have been looking at
Ipod touch 32gb (even though i am still a apply hater)
I like everything about it except for the media player, it just doesnt seem that intuitive to use (like adding songs to a play list ect), dont get me wrong, i can use it fine I just think it should be better. I think the wifi is great for just checking if their is any reception as well
Creative Zen X-fi
Ive always liked creative and it looks like a decent media player but its interface seems a bit strange and I have read that the SD card integration is pretty horrible.
Cowon S9
It looks like a really nice media player except for navigating the menus, it also seems to be lacking a lot of the extra features that make the Ipod good, also i have never seen one in person, only read reviews. Can anyone comment on what its like to have?
Microsoft Zune
I havent read any reviews on the latest one but last time I looked at one it seemed worth a try.

I dont care about what head phones come with them, I have some audio technica noise cancelling head phones already.
Basically I want to know what is the best MP3 player in general, I dont really need wifi but it would be nice to have (specially if i can get on msn and skype like the ipod touch can)
Im open to any other suggestions as well, anything reasonably priced will be considered.

Thanks
