If you take care of it, it will last forever. I have had mine for 5-6 months now and never had a problem with it. Battery life is awesome |
thats bullcrap cuz i can only get 22-24 with no backlit and no eq so your lying no way with backlit

I did it.
none of the other players support car audio. I know the sony, alpine, pioneer and kenwood have ipod interfaces. So guess which one that I like?
I have like 7200 songs on it and 1400 pictures |
have you ever watched pimp my ride? they hook up creative players to cars all the time.
now zen vs. ipod
zens willl have a more exciting sound and a better eq. also most of them except the neeon have a user replaceable battery which is a plus (the batteries are also 30 bucks i think).
the ipod is a very very vanilla player. The eq is a joke.
id go for the zen
this is coming from a ipod mini owner
edit: why not check out irivers or cowon iaudio x5 which are also very good esp if you use a treefile for your music.
the iaudio x5 is considered one of the best mp3 players on the market by the head-fi community. the irivers are very good as well
they both have color screen as well and the sound quality is just as good as creatives if not better.
also sonys are good to as long as your files are in mp3 format and you dont have a problem with sonicstage. also most of the sonys have anywhere from 20 hours battery life to 40 hours and these are on 20gig units where apples is like 13 hours.
