the biggest problem i had with the ipod video is its lack of support for most video formats. creative has answered my praryers. i think one of its coolest features is to podcast fm radio. im saving my money for this badboy.[/url]

It's $30 more than the ipod video. Looks pretty cool though.

It looks like they've taken to making their products look as much like Apple's as possible without infringing on design patents. :D

Yea it is pretty cool... But what happened to hard drive technology 3 years ago that locked us into 30GB portable devices? Why does no one care that there only 60GB Creative Zen is the old ugly original Nomad XTRA? I have a 30GB iPod now and I sure as hell am gonna need more space (as if I don't already) if it could play video too!

I'd like to try a pod/zen video player out for a bit and see if I dug it. I guess it would be damn cool to be able to watch movies on a pocket device, but that screen is small, as in reeeeeeally small. How legible are subtitles?

subtitles im not sure, but i had an ipod video in my posession for about a week and its really not that bad. like the screen size isnt really that bothersome, cause you can put the device close to you.
