"Ipod is a classic example of good marketing. Gigabeat classic example of excellence"
Pros: Plays WMA files (Ipod does not). This means you can't fit as many songs in memory per GByte. Superior sound quality over the IPOD (I have owned an IPOD). Looks & feels like an expensive DAP should
Cons: Not as easy to use as the IPOD (but then again, IPOD does not have many features (go figure). Buttons are a little difficult to get used to.
Summary: Looking at my comments above, each time I spoke about the gigabeat, I talked about the IPOD, Why? Because I had heard so much about the ipod I went and bought one. I was expecting a real bang for my buck. What I got, was let down. Poor sound quality and the biggest sin since Concord? Why? Because you can't play WMA files, what's all that about? Well Gigabeat really answered what I would like to see in a DAP. Its not perfect but nothing ever is. I am a bit of a gadget geek and the gigabeat is for me. If your not much into gadgets and you are not bothered about getting good sound quality and many songs on your DAP for the money, go buy and IPOD
