Zen vision M BRILLIANT
I have owned this machine now since September, downloaded all my music on it plus downloads, all my photographs, good few movies, and audiobooks. Being on the move all the time I use my address book/contacts and diary, and have a alarm clock with me at all times. Love the album of the day feature and the radom ness of the random player. However you do have to buy a proper case for it, and the necessary loader as you do not alway have access to a computer. I have also bought a travelling speake system and a tv audio cable. If you buy the cradle beware that you still have to buy the mains loader it does not really say that on the creative site, only when you look it up properly.

Other than that the machine is Brilliant it froze once on me and that was my fault as I asked it to do something to quickly.

I have always movies with me or tv programmes if I have to stay somewhere, I love the audiobooks (love reading but simply do not have the time) and I have it with me at all times.

I could do without my mobile phone for a few days, I could not do without my zen. If you get used to the controlls, (I love them) you love this machine and the fm radio is a definately bonus for me. It is easier to use than most compeditors, loading and down loading is as easy. All and all for me its simply the best.

This is the one.
Having wanted this for months now, I finally opened up this little green palmful of joy yesterday.
It lives up to it's expectations and more. Everything is so easy! No more faffing around with itunes. You can use WMP which is brilliant but even the creative software isn't that bad.
It's got so many little suprises on it that i'm sure i'll be discovering new things for days. The fact you can sync it your calender and organiser is really cool. Oh, and i'm loving the DJ feature where you can pick an 'album of the day', least listened to music or just plain random.
And that screen...I didn't want this to turn in to an ipod bashing but aplle eat you heart out! It's like watching a little HD television. No more boring train rides for me. Just to note though, apparently the screen is very vulnerable to scratches. For now, I'm keeping the protector on and I think it may be wise to invest in a decent case to preserve the beauty of this thing.
Oh, and if you're wondering about the colour - lime green looks really cool. Yum.

this is mine fo eva its amazing!!!
Right i got this mp3/4 about 6 months ago i think it is absolutley fantastic the colours are great, very vivid compared to the ipod which is pretty dull,at the moment i have about 21 videos on it 4 of them are simpsons episodes and i have about 370 songs and i still have 26gig left
believe me if you get this you woont be disapointed

a couple of bad things though the screen scrathes quite easily so i got a protector for it, but i took it off cause it makes it look tacky

umm the headphones are pretty naff to so i got some in-ear bass boost ones and what a difference it makes!!!

it has only froze two times but i think it was because i was asking it to do to much lol :-)

what i did find easy was syncing things like contacts songs videos every thing onto it,and the charging it is sooo quick about 2hrs if from mains!!

so what are you waiting for if you are lookin for a great mp3/4 player with great look and great video quality look no further!!!!
