Default mp3 player with video

I was shopping around and I decided to get this, its on its way from amazon.com. Wolverine MVP-9060 60 GB Portable Storage and Multimedia Viewer
http://www.amazon.com/Wolverine-MVP-...&s=audio-video
I think it will be cool, video, music, photos, and I can store data on it. What do you think? The only problem I may send it back for a refund is the battery life. Some ppl say its great while others say it sucks because of the battery life.

Pay 50 bucks more and get an 80gb iPod Video that does the exact same thing 10 times better.

keep in mind that both have an internal rechargable battery that cannot be replaced (at least not easily and cheaply)... so when that battery starts to stop holding a charge, you'll be up sh*t creek without a paddle

Wow, that screen is tiny compared to the iVideo, Vision:M, and especially Zune.

after watching video on it the screen size doesnt really bother me, but the main thing is for ipods you cant store data, i like to store my data files and backups on something, this acts as a external hdd too. and for the battery, all you do is buy one, and u open the battery hatch, and switch the batteries, its that simple. it has video out, a mic and other cool features. Its a little bit bigger than an ipod, but it was way cheaper and does a lil more than the ipod

You can store data on an iPod.

You don't have to be a mac fanboy to have an ipod, you just have to have an ipod to be a mac fanboy. And the ipod stores data just like a hard drive if you go into Itunes and tell it to recognize the ipod as a data storage device.
