I bought an iRiver h10 5Gb for my daughter and we had endless hassle with it.
The FM Transmitters to connect to your car radio are made by many generic suppliers. You'd pick them up in most retailers who supply any of the "i-pod" specific accessories or any general techy/electrical goods shops. Most simply connect through the headfone socket of the player. Some previous posts around for info on these. (Search AAM for Creative Zen for more information specific to that MP3 player)Where can you get accessories like ipod have for connecting to a car stereo or the wee speakers and stuff you see for ipods?
Go for the Creative Zen Vision M. It is soooomuch better than the i-sh*t.
Far superior Audio
Far Superior Video
Interface takes abit to get used to but not too difficult.
S.B.
I don't think this is an entirely subjective review.
The iPod consistently gets best-in-class for audio performance, or should I say, audioperformance.
The video playback, while useful, is not the main feature of the iPod with Video.
While pricey, I always feel that the build & sound quality, ease of use, superior software make the iPod hard to beat. Especially now that the nano has a tougher body.
I presume you mean entirely objective? Given that this review is actually entirely subjective, just like your own.
For some objectivity, having been an owner in recent times of both an ipod and a creative, I can say that for me, there's no appreciable difference in sound quality.
The ipod is slightly easier to use, physically. The software on them is much of a muchness, and if it's accessories that you want, then check out here.
