I used to have a Zen:Vision 30GB....bought it with a waranty for $400, and the damn thing got Stolen within 2 months.
I bought it because a comparable Ipod was more expensive (by almost $200
), and didn't have as many features. But 50% of the reason though was because I hate itunes and everything that goes along with it.
I haven't bought an mp3 player in over two years since I lost that one. Sort of a self-inflicted punishment for not protecting it better
...but now, with my new phone, I'll slap a 8GB sd card in there and vuala. But I'll probably never get an Ipod...they're overrated by a fair amount, imo.
