I have both an iPod Nano and a Creative Zen Micro. In all honesty, I'd
never have had an iPod if work hadn't given me one free. The Zen sounds
better and is just as easy to use. It's a bit bigger, but then it's hard
disk based rather than flash. Battery life on both is good.

The only thing I particularly like about the iPod is you can install
Linux on it :) Look for Rockbox and iPod Linux.
