    What do you think? which one should i go for?

    I know the difference in storage is quite large but i dont think id use it anyway.

    I like the X7 cos its tiny and has a huge battery life.

    I like the creative cos its got more space and bigger screen.


    Any suggestions or comments. They both seem to be the same price!

    I've only seen the creative, i considered buying it, but decided to go with an archos instead... What i can say about the Creative is that the screen is a good size (quality is ok too) and the battery life is good (from what i've heard)

    The thing i didn't like about it is it's button interface, felt kinda dodgy in my hands, but that's just me... If they're both the same price, look at the creative, waaayyy more space, bigger screen, you can watch videos and stuff on it...

    But seen as i have not seen the iAudio, I can't compare... Sorry

    The TV-out function on the Zen is top-notch, excellent quality and dead
    handy for watching divx on your TV. The built in screen quality is very
    good and has helped me escape boredom on flights - battery life is very
    good and I picked up a battery pack that runs off AA batteries and extends
    playback by a factor of 2.5 times that of the built in without charging -
    perfect for long haul. I'm happy with sound quality and having a radio is useful
    at times.

    Go for the Creative Zen Vision M 30gb, the only regret you'll
    have is that you didn't get the 60gb. ;)

    Ye but its much more expensive and its bigger, i need it to be easily portable! Plus i have a 20gig and i only listen to the same 3-4gig over and over, although the option that i could listen to more is nice!

    Seems like you're omitting the benefits of having a Divx player that will
    connect to your TV or you can watch when out and about. ;)

    If all you need is a couple of gig of music then check the Creative
    Stone Plus, 2gb and radio. As cheap as chips for what you get.


    Check the Sansa Express, getting good reviews too.
