Hey
In the last couple of weeks I was like everytime looking out for new reviews for those players, but still I dont know what to decide for
Creative Zen Neeon
Contra that disturbs me most: The Lag between the songs
Is there already a firmware update that fixes the, as I read about 6 seconds lag between some songs (4-6sec - right?)? I even read, by some songs its about 15 seconds!
And the USB charger, is it true that the Neeon needs only 3 hours to charge? And afaik it is no common USB cable, its a USB-to-AC-Charger (creative cable, not a comon cable), right?
Iriver h10 5gb
The Player i read the best ratings from. Firmware 2.0 fixes most annoying things or most problems, and the complaining customers seem to be few.
Contra: Imo its _very_ ugly. Only possibility would be the black one
And the playtime is just about 6-8 hours!
Ipod Nano/Video
Didnt read much reviews bout them, cus I already know the common problems. The Battery problem, afaik Ipod already replaces the battery for free in Europe in Warranty time?!?
Slowly Ipod is being more and more a possibility for me, cause every player has bugs, it seems like Ipod has the most technically-matured players?
Olympus m:robe the 5gb one
Has a crappy Software. You have to deselect every track you do not want to Sync, or just delete everything in the library except the tracks you want to sync.
Very good looking, but because of that software actually no real possibility anymore.

By all players (except Ipod) I read Opinions/Ratings, by the Neeon it seems to be 50:50. Some say, its a waste of money cus of the buffering-lag between the tracks (the small display wouldnt annoy me that much I think), some say its acceptable, some dont even talk about it. The Neeon just looks so ****ing good, and like noone has it in Europa, lots of my friends have Ipods (Nanos/Minis/Videos), one more point why i actually dont want to buy myself an Ipod.
As said, the Olympus has the crappy Software and a not-long-going battery.
Any Ideas/Hints/References/Opinions/Experiences?
Please avoid Replys like 'Omg ipod is teh best go buy it'
