Advantages: FM Radio
Disadvantages: too many..

...completely redundant. The Creative Zen 32GB is nice and small, fitting into your pockets; but it lacks all the things that consumers have come to expect within the last 8 months. Another problem with the Zen is its lack of suitable software. iTunes is one of the world's most downloaded music programmes - so the Zen software is not only outdated and slow, it also makes the Zen even more unappealing. Finally, the Zen lacks a touch screen - with ...
...and lacking brightness; making this a useless product unless you literally don't want to look at your mp3 player. So in conclusion; i strongly advise you forget you ever heard of the 32GB Zen, and instead look in to an iPhone, iPod, or Archos player. There is absolutely no reason to buy this product - it is ridiculously overpriced for the futile small range of features it does offer. Specificationss Size: WxHxD: 3.26" x 2.16" x 0.44" ...

The Microsoft Zune 80 is the Zune 30's bigger brother. It plays MP3, WMV, WMA, MP4 music and video files, displays JPEG pictures and has an FM tuner, but its real value is its truly whopping 80GB hard disk which can hold my entire music library and several full length films. It also supports wireless connection to your home network and can transfer music wirelessly to nearby Zune users (with restrictions) should you have the urge so to do. Given ...
...a nice change for a Microsoft offering. The screen shows a big picture of any album art associated with a piece of music, and you can fast forward through a piece with the 'squircle' button.

The 3.2-inch video screen was big, ... Read review

Advantages: The clip feature and sound quality.
Disadvantages: Not many features

I love my ipod shuffle. I do have an ipod nano as well, but I find that i'm using the shuffle more and more over the nano. Firstly I find that the size and design of the shuffle (clip feature) is far more useful than the nano, it means you don't have to worry about having a pocket to put it in and is particularly useful for situations like the gym. You also don't have to worry about the screen getting scratched as obviously there isn't one! The ...
...it needs recharging. I paid £22 for mine off bigpockets when they were selling all the old models off cheaper which is no doubt an absolute bargain. I also feel that the sound quality is as good as all the other Ipod types. The choice of colours is also good so you can pick one to suit your style. The thing with the shuffle is you obviously don't know what song is going to come next, so I make sure that I only put my favourite songs on it in groups ... Read review
