just got me a 20GB Creative Zen Touch
« on: February 11, 2005, 07:07:26 PM »
and i have to say i'm extremely satisfied thus far. EXCELLENT sound quality, easy to use (very similar to iPod), and another thing i like about it is that it's not an iPod. The battery life is twice of that of an iPod, and plus you can take mp3s in and out of the player, something you can't do with an iPod. It also comes with a carrying case and all that jazz. The only thing i didn't like was the headphones which it came with, which are pretty much crap. I paid 249.99 and there's an extra 20 dollars mail-in rebate, so it will end up costing about 250 tax included after i get my rebate, so it's a better deal overall than the 20gb iPod (299.99).

size... it's a little bigger than the iPod but it weighs about the same.. i think like .4 ounces more. visibly i can't tell the difference in size.. it's just a little fatter

i was thinkin about the micro one, but damn, it's the same price as the Zen Touch, but it has 1/4 of the disk space and 1/2 of the batterly life. The only thing it has goin for it is the size.. i guess it's more cool looking too

The removable battery is the big plus  ;) you'll never have to send it in and pay $100 for a replacement when your battery dies.

I went with the iRiver H340 (40GB)



It sounds very similar to yours with the good battery and how you can use it like a hard drive and store anything. 
It has a nice colour screen, plays videos, views JPEG or BMP images,  FM radio & radio recorder, voice recorder, text reader, plays WinAmp playlists.

It's also very easy to use, if you can read you should have no problems.

I own an iPod and an iRiver and without a doubt, iRiver > iPod.

damn, yours sounds tight, cuz the ZenTouch doesnt play any media except for music, but u can store it. I think they had the iRiver but i couldn't afford one

20 GB Creative Zen Touch is the same machine 2 of by best friends got. They came to my place and jacked a lot of shit from my computer :D. I like how you just have to use one thumb to ge along with it.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin
