I have to say I love this thing!

I have never ripped an MP3, and am barely into the digital camera hobby, the WMP 10 interface with the Zen makes this stuff a snap. I didn't bother with the directions, the interface is intuitive and user friendly.

By this I mean Synchronizing files and ripping CDs, I'll post more on video storage later this week. You can set it to grab everything on your hard drive at once, or pick and choose.

The interface/controls of the Zen are a snap as well, my grandma could figure this thing out.

So far I've only put some of my favorite CDs and my last photo download on it, this week I'll be hooking up the Plextor ConvertX and putting some Sponge Bob on it for my four year old to watch while travelling.

In any case, if you're looking for a better MP3 player, portable photo album with a bigger display than your camera, or way watch tv shows on the road, this thing rocks. I took it in to the software firm I work for, the reaction was most favorable.
 
Have put .Avis I recorded on camera and a MPEG of Fear Factor on it, other than less than lightning fast conversion, no issues. This thing is worth owning, being able to take this much music/video with you anywhere you have time to kill is pretty valuable to me.

MP3s are great, but having the option to watch tv shows you've taped (or movies) beats listening to your favorite CD for the 800th time all to heck.

Have shown it to all lot of people, has the the "wow" factor going, I apparently don't know anyone who has one or has even seen one.
 
i really look forward to the evolution of this line, i figure sometime in the future these will take off, whether the winning device is from creative, apple, asus, or whoever
