hey kids,
I'm probably going to get another ipod unless y'all convince me otherwise. here's my criteria:

- must be >=60GB
- must have very long battery life
- must have a good ui (i.e. no remote required, I hate those things), and not look/feel cheap
- good skip protection as I run for long periods of time

convince me not to get an ipod again.

I liked the creative models but the one I have is a 30 gig I believe.

I used to be an Ipod hater but I have since been converted. Just get one.

I don't think running with a hard drive based mp3 player is a very good idea.

I like my Creative Zen Xtra. 60 gigs, good enough battery life. Only thing is the size, it does not comfortably fit in a jeans pocket, so you have to clip it onto your belt or whatever. Still, half the price of Apple is hard to beat.

the creatives seem nice but the size thing is actually a dealbreaker for me, good thing you mentioned it.
