EVERYTHING breaks just after its warranty, its a fact of life ;)

My Zen is probably about in total, about 5cm2 bigger than an Ipod.

Oh no, my pocket or bag pocket is so small...

Ipods are like PS2s. Everyone rushes out to get one without looking at the fact that they're crap, overpriced and generally not as good as other stuff.

My ZEN was cheaper, it had more space than the equivilant Ipod, it had a longer battery life, more audio options and was better. I got it, it was far better than an Ipod, even if it's slightly bigger. I don't really care about the size of it. That extra CM isn't going to bother me...

Did anyone read the article about the Ipods breaking after the warranty had gone? The batteries just loose their life and last about 15 minutes, they're irriplacable so you have to buy a whole new Ipod.

My God, they're exactly like PS2s now, breaking after their warranty...

Do Ipods accept MP3s? That's just the final insult if they don't...

You'd have to be pretty sad to let something like an MP3 player take over your life.

*hugs Zen*

Pfft. The Zen looks good, plays perfectly, is cheaper, has longer battery life, has a billion audio options and effects, stores thousands upon thousands of songs, is as tough as the Crack Herman Goering Anti-Aircraft Division, and doesn't ruin marriages.

Hehe.

"Every evening he gets the iPod out straight after supper and starts fannying around with it. It’s taking over our lives."

Oh, my ...

My Zen has some nicks and dents, nothing bad.

Plays anything I want it to at obscene levels through a tape adapter, so I'm fine.

Yep, there's a program called File Manager which you use to drag and drop files onto your ZEN.

I have a 20Gb Zen, haven't used it for a while though, it keeps crashing for some reason :(

The Zen comes with software, and the newer versions will come with even better stuff.

I just used my music in WMP and used that to transfer it as well. You can store pretty much anything on it as well, as long as you make it a 'new HD' on your PC.

I think. I never bother with that.
