Zen Zen Zen Zen everytime.
Have a buddy whose job is collecting faulty units from customers. Based on his figures regarding returns for repair I bought the Zen. My two kids have Creative 1Gig MP3's.
All working fine no probs.

IPOD nano vs ZEN MICRO
Oct 20, 2005 11:46PM PDT

Zen wins hands down...

1. Uses a REASONABLY PRICED lithium ion cell phone battery(easy to buy and replace by consumer)

2. Comes with a built in FM tuner and RECORDS FM programmes.

3. Longer play per charge (decreases as battery ages).

If following the crowd and paying hundreds of dollar$ to replace or repair an APPLE IPOD/battery is your thing... go ahead and spend the ca$h.

this what i got from those mp3 players

I brought the zen 3 months ago and it was so great. Until now i am still using it for my life. i had the zen and i had seen the ipod nano from my friends and i heard all my friends said that nano is a bs mp3 player . Some people just sell the ipod and give people the protection when people buy the ipod nano and it was a no use protection at all it still scratch and it is bs for people to have that kinds of mp3. ipod nano it's so thin that some of my friends said when you sit on it it will just break in half. Now about the zen i didn't see anyone talk bad about it and i know which one is better because last day i borrowed someone's ipod nano and i can tell which one is better. the zen it's a creative mp3 player and it's nothing bad for me i could just get the zen not ipod nano. All they trying to do it's sell a sucky ipod nano that scratches easy and give you a useless bag
and it is no helpful at all, so get zen not ipod nano
