Title: What's most important in a mp3-player to you ??
Post by: Jome on October 13, 2004, 04:32:25 AM

What's most important in a mp3-player to you ?? (You may answer up to 3 alternatives)

I'm trying to figure out why the hell Ipod have 82% of the market in U.S., but only 28% of the global market.
Because Ipod sure as hell isn't a better player than the new Creative Zen.
Creative beats Ipod in all areas, and it looks even better imo, but that's a matter of taste. (Ipod looks clean, but slightly boring)

Battery capacity: Ipod 4th gen; max 12 hours. Creative Zen; max. 24 hours.
Menus: Very similar, testers say both players is equally easy to browse.
Price: All Creative Zen models are $50 to $120 cheaper than the similar size Ipod.

OK, so the Ipod mini looks fresher than the Creative Zen Micro, but Zen Micro have a 5GB harddrive against Ipod minis 4GB.

Is the design really THAT important ???

when plugged in over USB they mount as an extra HDD.. meaning you can also put files n stuff on there.
