The Creative labs one is exactly the same spec wise with a better battery and looks virtually the same but costs lots less than an ipod

I bought an ipod mini for the g/f cos I knew that she'd prefer the 'fashion accessory' status than something with a bit more memory...
What can you get for the money? The Creative Zen Micro is pretty much the same price as the mini, but you get an extra 1gb... but the ipod has the coolness factor and the cool touch-sensitive dial...

agreed. i prefer it to media player and stuff apart from the fact you cant burn to mp3 cds with stuff thats copyrighted that you've put on. i know its for legal issues but seeing as you've bought it you should be able to put it on mp3 for the car mp3 player

Specs are pointless.
You don't buy an iPod because it's the best, you buy it because it's an iPod.

Yes really - you wouldn't buy an iPod, but those that do buy an iPod buy it for the reason I gave.
