Not a single product from Creative. Not a single product with a 2.5" disk.

Some nice ones there, but I'm more interested on the Cowon/JetAudio iAudio X5LGreat sound quality (possibly even better than my current Zen) and an amazing battery life (manufacturer quote 35 hours, probably around 32 in RL). Those are the two most important factors to me.Oh, and being Cowon, it's a UMS device - so drag-drop MP3 transfers :D

One thing that makes the iPod brand so successful is it's third party support. For example, check out the new deal Apple has with Nike.

Since the iPod doesn't play Ogg Vorbis files, how is it a substitute for my player when I've got buttloads of files in that format?

I see, the Karma was so good that you decided to fake a malfunction and turn it in for an iRiver. No thanks, your recommendation stinks.
