    It may be the announcement after creative's on the 30th. I'll lmao if it is. How pissed I would be if I bought a ipod video recently (christmas time) and this comes out. Like I've said before, just buy yourself a PDA (PPC) and you will be much happier.

    Fullscreen video, like that's something new. I laugh once again at ipod!

    Putting DVD's on the PPC has been the easiest converting I ever done.

    Solargame, there are no official announcements at all from Apple, it is currently fuelled on speculation & rumours.

    The iPod you have pictured there is made using photoshop.

    As think more about it, if that thing were even true would it come with a stylus? You would have to set your screen for accuracy or maybe it would be based off of your finger.

    well, i know, im not trying to spread rumors, but noteable sites like engadget.com, and digg.com have stated its a photoshop, but said there have been leaks leading to this.

    Hey, mate, I wasn't accusing you of anything ;-)

    I personally would applaud another iPod - It would mean better quality video, and more questions for me to answer :)

    just got my Zen Vision: M last week and all i can say is that i love it beyond compare. the on;y advantage the ipod viseo has over is size/weight, look/ and custom firmwares (with a sweet virtual dj program, super mario word, and all the codecs that the zen has.)
    this is the best player available.

    you can hack the iPod with rockbox/iPW/Linux and play ogg files, change themes, play games such as pac-man, have gapless playback.. just so long as the hacks are executed correctly. :)

    Anyone with an iPod and who's interested should follow my ongoing tutorial.. (parts 1,2&3 are in my sig, others coming soon).

    Glad you like your zen solar.. it's a nifty little player.. there isn't actually a lot of difference between that & the iPod. :)
