it doesn't have a fancy screen or a radio. if you want a radio, buy one
i wanted a portable mp3 player, so i got the zen touch.
it's not the nicest interface. it's modeled after the ipod interface, which i don't really care for. but after a bit of practice, i can load my music pretty quickly. and the sound is very nice. sounds way better than the Sony HD5, though it is a bit larger.
can't speak for the iriver.
I've been looking at both the iRiver h10 20gb and the Zen Touch 20gb. Both seem like nice players, the iRiver has FM and a nice color screen but is a little over my budget. The Zen Touch has a nicer price tag and longer battery life but lacks the features of the iRiver. Which one is better?
