I think the iPod is a tad thinner, I'm not sure though
The vertical scroll pwns the wheel. I love the autohold/scroll.
BestBuy Stores should now have them in stock and on display. If you get a chance go play with CZV:M.

Sorry buddy, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. Although I am now used to it, I find the vertical scroll on my creative Z-T is to sensitive, even on the lowest-sensitivity setting. Whereas on my iPod, I find it's a lot easier to navigate the interface with the click wheel.
But I guess, it's a matter of opinion once again ;-)

Jazo- The Creative Zen Vision:M costs $330. I find the Apple clickwheel easier to use because u don't have to lift ur thumb off the interface like the Creative products. I feel u can scroll through songs way faster.

I'd have to say the second best is the Zen Vision M: followed by iPod Video

um what makes you think that you have to take your thumb off of the creatives? That's like saying you have to take your thumb off the ipod to press the button in the middle.
You might find the wheel easier but I find it cumbersome. Using your thumb in a circular motion is not very natural. I can't see how scrolling up or down and holding (not pressing) is harder than the wheel?
If you didn't see it in my first pic the left/right is located on the very edge of the scroll pad. This makes about 85%-90% of the functions done by the twitch of your thumb.

The CZV:M is now $299
So now for the same price of an ipod, you get more for your money.

just in case price was an issue for the Creative ZV:M, I have purchased it from crutchfield's for 250.00 with free shipping. Unfortunately it's out of stock right now, but they should have more soon
LINK: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-KaVmx1GNgLa/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=0...
Use Promotion Code: PA440
This gets you 50 dollars off so finally price is 249.99

wait, the Creative Zen Vision:M is only 30 gigs, not 60, and certainly not heard about 80. I still think even with 30 gigs its still pwns the comptetion. show me a link to a CZ:M over 30 gigs and ill be overjoyed.

80gb Creative Zen Vision:M? Damn, I may just have to invest in one of those -- that's unless Apple provide a new iPod with more storage space, in which case i'll probably purchase that.

I forgot that I owned a Panasonic D-Snap SV-AS10A in blue. Got it last Christmas but don't use it much (because I have an iPod Video). It's a great product though. Does many things. Want to sell it for $150 so I can get the 1GB white Nano. Does anyone think the price is too much? The D-Snap is an mp3 player, 2mp digital camera, voice recorder, and recordes 60 second JPEG

The info is just another link to the pic :-)
Why do you want to buy a nano when you have the iPod Video already?

Lethal I wnat to get the Nano too because you have to be very careful with the video but the Nano I could use it a bit more roughly by taking and it too school and quickly grab it for short car trips etc..

That's true, Because if you drop video ipod in a hard surface. The hardrive will brake. But if you drop nano it would be fine because it runs by memory. EDIT: HOW long does ipod video hardrive last?
