The micro is small, but crappy prices.* Over $200 for a 6MB.* And what do you mean by sound???? Sound quality is all the same in the players, it's the earphones that matter buddy :P.* And ipods have excellent battery as well.* I used a zen touch before though, and this is my only experience with a zen, and the battery died after 2.3hours

My Zen Touch's battery can last more than one day with almost constant playing. You're battery must have been broken or something. :P
And I think that Apple has extended the battery time for their latest iPod model or something. I think it used to be like 10 hours and now it's 18 or something.

Trust me Minor, you don't want an iPod. All iPods, except the old ones, are extremely fragile and frail. I've seen them dropped from pocket-height onto a cement ground and then never be able to work again. The screens have been reported to crack easily and almost randomly.

Those are more then rumors, though there are rumors such as the iPod's battery not being designed to last more than two years (after which, the warranty expires). I've known people who have had experience with this as well, though it could just all be a coincidence.

Either way, you're safer off buying a less expensive MP3 player from a less popular company that gives you the same, if not better, results as an iPod.



I normally like Apple products too...

Get a Benzo.

and if you're going for mp3 player, try the Creative Zen and or Zen Micro. Voice recording, contact information, radio, and it also acts as a partial hard drive so you can plug it into any computer with USB 1.1 and 2.0 and it'll look like a hard drive. Way better than the IPod. And battery? My zen lasts about 12 hours before i have to recharge it, it's awesome.

I would say get cash and when you think of something you want, spend it on that.

That is not true buddy. I have seen ipods bashed repeatedly. My friend dropped his like 5 times in a minute and it didnt even skip. However, they will break if you drop them and the screens will break as well, but that's the same with all mp3's buddy. Sorry, but they are just as good as any other. I have tryed offbrand mp3's, and i know one, by rio, that was dropped like 5 inches onto a table. Something jolted and it never worked again.


BTW, you guys have convinced me that ZEN is better than iPod. I am gonna get a zen now ;). The radio, and voice recording, and harddrive, and contact list sounds awesome. Now, which should i get? Micro? Neeon? I want good storage but still fairly small and decent price.

The newer iPods are exceptionally fragile... I don't have much experience with other MP3 players, but my old 1st or 2nd generation iPod (the sides aren't even rounded) has been put through a hell of a beating, one that I know the newer ones couldn't handle. To be fair, this thing weights twice as much as the regular new iPods B) ... it's a beast. I'll put some pictures up if I can find a camera laying around somewhere.

Just got a new idea for your birthday Minor... how about a vacation? Tell your parents to send you off to a tropical island for a week or something B) . Or better yet, Sweden!

if you want good storage then you get the good ol brickpod, big but 60gigs and cheap, if you want looks then you get neon on plain zen if you want size you get micro

but i think zen is the best, just plain zen no touch or anything, look on website
