True. Which only proves the point that an average consumer is an uneducated sheep. Keeping up with the Jones' is the way of life.

I'm sorry, as much as you Creative fanboyz like to brag about Creative, I think their mp3 players sucks. I'd buy an iriver, sandisk, samsung, ipod or any other player before I get a vision m or whatever else they sell. Their products always malfunction. Every single person who I know that has a Creatie player always bitches and complain about how many times they had to return it. And let's not forget how ugly their products are. i've been buying iriver ever since the days they used to manufacture for rio and i never had a problem with them, no matter how many times I dropped them. Maybe the reason why people don't buy Creative is because they don't sell "quality" products.

Put me down as the one you are acquainted with that throuroughly ejoyed his Creative Zen Touch 20GB. 🙂

I highly doubt that. Thinksecret has released some [relativley] new information about the upcoming touch screen iPod. Its now more sure than just a rumor. The info gathered so far eludes to a unit with a 4" widescreen touchscreen, bluetooth and possible WiFi capabilities. I think people are more concerned with size(both physical and storage capacity), reliability, and ease of use over features such as p2p music sharing (esp when you can't keep the songs) and WiFi. The touchscreen idea seems very cool to me, and the fact that the new iPod will be at least 80gb, if not 100gb, will surely one-up MS, unless they bring something new to the table before or near the release of the 6th Gen iPod.

i don't think you know what the word elude means.


the p2p music thing that you can't keep seems like what ipod listeners did a while back, jacking into each other's ipods on the train and whatnot.

Hi, I'm Fritzo. Now that you know me, I've been using Creative MP3 players since 2001 now (started with a Nomad Jukebox!). I've never had one go bad on me. The Vision M I have now is the envy of the office, and has replaced a portable DVD player for trips (the screen on those things are incredible!).

Now that you know me, you can no longer say "Everyone I know..."

lol. sorry, but your opinion don't count. I don't base my opinion on some stranger from the internet. hell for all I know you might even be lying about your experience.

LOL Your pointless and baseless comments just go to show that you know nothing about MP3 players in general and Creative in particular., and neither do your imaginary "friends".

are you serious? I dont know anything about mp3 players? imaginary "friends"? :roll: It's because of comments like this that I don't post in these forums as much as I used to. last thing I need to do is prove myself to some pimple faced geeks trapped in their parent's basement.
 
It looks nice, and I bet it will have a great UI, and be comparable to the iPod, but its nothing truly new, except wifi.

I think they should have done what the rumored ipod true video will do, which is just have the face be entirely touch screen lcd. They have done well adding a big screen, but go all the way and bring something truly new to the table if you want to really make a dent in the market.
