I have a creative Zen xtra. I got the 40 gig for about $200 dollars less then the iPod. Sure its not perfect but it works and the huge wad of cash I saved always makes me feel better if the software begins to frustrate me a little or I wish I could put my purchesed music straight on my player.
But Im all for Creative getting a little justice out of this. Apple is a computer company then they come along and act like they invented portable media. For the record there were portable battery powered record players before Steve Jobs hotwired his first PC. Apples innovation can jump off a cliff. They didn't even develop the iPod they just bought it and made it shiny. I believe Creative is greatly under appreciated and maybe not the best company ever but they have done a lot for poratable media. They had a mini half gig player long before apple did and it actually has a screen but people love shiny objects so they go for the apple product.
Sorry rant over.
