Im gonne buy a Mp3 player like the ipod Classic which can also play videos, but i know there are also other players like this out there like the creative zen.

Any experience? maybe other players besides these ones i should consider buying?

I have had iPod video 1,5 years and it has worked really well. Going to buy new iPod if this one breaks. :)

you get the 20 $ apps for free. you can paly paly so many n1ce games. you can change the theme and icons. you can ssh to your iPod Touch. you can use unix cmds like wget, irssi, etc. you can use msn and irc clients
seriously, it's rly so much you can do with it.

without hacking it it's not worth to buy it (imo)

btw you can hack it in less than 2 mins!

hmm, ok. Guess the only features I'd be interested of would be msn/irc and themes.

Been pissing me off a bit that you can't change backgrounds.

Gonna look into it some day

yeah but I have GP2X, it's a handheld console with Linux that I can inbstall most emulators on with real controls, I also already have a flashcard for NDS so have some emulators for that too, seems to useless with iPod Touch :p

well you're gonna look much better playing around with your iphone on the bus for example rather than a big ugly handheld, but that's just me :D

I have this one, the screen is a bit smaller then the iPod's I guess but it's alot cheaper. They do have some nice other stuff, just google for 'sandisk sansa'

cowon d2 + sdhc 16gb ftw
srsly, just pwns + fucking nice music quality (72mW)

d2 2gb - 150 euros (in SHITPoland) 16gb sdhc with some kickass timings etc. about 50 euros

+flash skins +editable themes +editable fonts=> awsomeness for pimping

if interested, i can take some photos...

+ lots of fw. updates (ie. they added flash support, those flash music menus, dictionary [eng-korean, but there are some nice 'chambers'], notepad [drawing stuff ftw.])
and those updates are extremely easy and safe to make...

well spend money

I've got the Archos GMini 500 40gb and I'm very satisfied about it. Or just get an Zen, seems to be good if the conspiracy isn't about to continue.
