Alright, the thing is, it's not my money. It's my uncle's. And I don't want to ask for more, I feel bad. If you had the choice, would you buy the 8 gig Zen Micro or the 2 gig Nano?
I'd definetly go with the ZMP When I'm not working out/jogging I leave it w/o the case. The casing is pretty much unscratchable and that includes the screen. I got this for working out/jogging. The ZMP fits in tightly and you can attach it to your belt or strap it around your arm.
Interesting. I need a confirmation... I hear the sounds are different and it is more crisp and clearer on the Ipod. True or false? I am leaning towards the ZMP... unless if the above is true.
The zen micro is clearer than the ipod, but most of the time with the right headphones that is negated. I have had my zen micro for 1.5 yrs and it works great. I am sure the photo will be good too. But the ipod nano uses flash (am i correct?) and that means faster boot up and faster loading. And it is also 1 less mechanical part to worry about (no hard drive spinning). From what i have heard the nano scratches easily and i see people with huge casses for the nano which deafeats the purpose of having a nano. I am sure im not making this any easy but have you tried any of them? Do any give you a better feel or comfort level?
Yeah, I liked the feel of the Ipod nano. I haven't tried the ZMP yet. I wonder how much slower the ZMP is compared to the Nano?
From what I've read, the ZMP has better sound quality than the Nano. Slower? Going from menu to menu is pretty quick/responsive but I will admit that there are rare occasions when it can lag. When you first use the ZMP, your probably not gonna like it. The layout of the touchpad is weird at first, but when you adjust the touchpad sensitivity and get a feel for the layout, its simple.
did you try checking out cowon's iaudio players? chock full of features and amazing sound quality. dont get an ipod just cos you think the girlies like them.
If you're looking to spend $200 to get something that will make chicks pay attention to you, you should just get $200 worth of cocaine.
they have a wide range from the panty-wetting sexy ones to function over form geek ones. i think the best thing about them is that you can hook up to any computer and get mp3s downloaded instantly. no required software whatsoever.
if you can wait a little..i would get the Meizu player...its from china..and is a ipod-nano competitor... http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/meizu-m6-video-preview-185179.php
