Technically you can make playlists on the fly with an iPod, but there is a 1,000 track limit, which can be annoying at times!

Details have finally be posted: Apple iPhone Store Credit That's why I am never an early adoptor of new technology!

Try Pods Plus or Kroo. They make lots of good cases. Pods Plus black leather stand case for the Creative Vision M. Accessories for Creative Zen Vision:M

I think the Zen Vison: M has 16MB of buffer memory. That means that each time it plays, it should load two or three MP3s into the memory at a time. If you're playing in normal mode, the Zen will know which songs to play next and will load 16MB at a time into memory. However, if you are on...

I think the Zune and iTunes, and Microsoft and Apple for that matter are like: They just don't mix too well!

A lot of people go ghetto and just carry their Zen Vision: M with the sync adaptor and then connect a lineout from there. However, the sync adaptor doesn't stay that firmly in place and you would probably need yo find a way to secure it in place. Certainly not the greatest solution, but workable.

You should read Austin Vaughan's of DAPReview initial impressions of the Zune. Appearantly you have to jump though hoops to get this thing to connect with your PC. - The Zune in a non-MTP compliant device which can cause a whole bunch of headaches. - Need to have an MSN e-mail account or...

It's too bad they don't make AUX line-in ports as standard equipment all all new car stereos. With the number of portable devices out there (mp3s/daps, media players, cell phones), it really makes sense!

Oh no, let's not turn this into a iPod fanboys versus iPod haters thread!

I think a lot of it is subjective, such as looks. I prefer the Zen Vision: M over the Gigabeat. I think it has a better screen and great sound. Plus, I've never liked the controls of the Gigabeat, though the touchstrip of the Zen Vision: M is not that great either!

I think the Apple iPod Nano, Creative Zen V (Plus), Cowon iAudio U3 or SanDisk Sansa e200 Series would all suit your needs. All are small flash players with a good amount of storage, decent screens, good sound and lots of extra features. Apple iPod Nano Creative Zen V Cowon iAudio U3...

CNET Asia has just completed its review of the Zen Vision W. It scored an 8/10, which is not bad, and received an Editors Choice. The good: Great battery life for video playback; good audio fidelity; widescreen display; vibrant colors; organic UI. The bad: Thicker than the original; no TV...
