I didn't go with an iPod for several reasons.

1.) It looks like a toy. But looks are subjective.

2.) The Creative Zen Vision: M 60GB trumps the iPod equivalent by a 256,000-color display over the iPod's 16,000-color display, supports more playable media formats, and some other stuff. (Yep... I did my homework.)

3.) I didn't want to get one because everyone else has an iPod. (Now I'm unique... just like everybody else!)

4.) The iPod feels fragile. And I don't mean just the screen... all PVPs have screens that just love getting scratched. I feel like if I ever had one in my back pocket and accidentally sat on it that it would snap.

5.) Not sure about this one, but I haven't heard of anyone who uses an iPod without iTunes. (I like being able to access my Zen as another hard disk so I can avoid installing crappy software.)

Why I would want an iPod:

1.) Apparently whenever you break one or when it fails on you, you can basically trade it in for a new one.

2.) I can become part of the Apple elitist group. Oh wait... that's not something I want...

I read about the Zune and the first generation batch didn't appeal to me at all, after reading some peer reviews. Things like how you can't wirelessly-interact with your PC (even though it's able to do this with other Zunes... so it doesn't seem to make any sense why not), the restrictive supported media formats, the fact that it's a Microsoft product...

Really, to each his/her own.

I can't see myself with that thing in my pocket... Maybe it is good, but it is way to big for me! I don't even own a Ipod, I use my cellphone when I am listening to music. (Actually, it works rather fine. It is an LG Prada phone, haha.)

But I must agree that there are good music players out there that is better and cheaper then some of the Ipods. But still the Ipods are light, nice and good enough for many people. (Like my friends.)
