Pros: Size, space, weight, color screen, ease of use, great features, etc.....
Cons: No video feature (but I didn't need that any way)

After much research and playing I decided on the Philips 30GB, the best buy I could have ever gotten! I didn't want to conform to the masses and buy an over priced I-Pod, but I waned the same level of technology. And I wasn't in need of the video feature, so I bought the wonderful Philips GoGear!
With the touch screen I was sold! The Creative labs one seemed out of date in comparison. It has a super long battery life, easy to use features, amazing color on the screen!! I could go on and on!!!! Just buy one and see for yourself... forget IPods...
