Creative Zen (4GB)

Pros: feature rich

Cons: no dedicated volume control

Summary: Beautiful design. Easy to use. Video looks fantastic. Creative software will convert to proper format. Pictures display just as good. You can sync your outlook/outlook express contact list and all it's info. The Zen has all kinds of features including alarm clock/fm radio, etc, etc. To compensate for the lack of a dedicated volume control you can program the short cut button on the front of the unit to be the volume button. I find it very easy to navigate, very light in weight and a joy to use. I feel you get a lot for your money especially comparing it to the Ipod. I highly recommend this mp3-video player.
