Happened to my friend aswell, but he dropped it on concrete. And yeah, it's a bit thick but compared to zune.. *shudders*
The thing about Ipod touch is that it's a bit too much of a gimmick for me.. Sure, it's cool but do you really need a touch screen in your mp3 player? It just seems like a waste of money. The big screen is nice though.

If I wanted to dink around with my player all the time I might go for an Archos, but I want to spend as little time as possible syncing,setting up,installing functions and navigating. And the archos is huge.

the archos is huge because its a video player, I would rather watch videos on a 4 inch screen than a 2.5 inch screen. And the archos interface is fine, nothing wrong with it. Oh and you dont need th add ons, I didnt get them and my archos works great.
I kinda feel sorry for people who get ripped off by the ipod touch, who would honestly spend 400$ on a 16 GB MP3 player and not feel ripped off:? I think the new zune looks much better anyway.Film-Guy
I prefer the look of the Zen Vision M a lot more than the new Zen plus its 30 gigs for a little $, except no store here has them (anymore?)

Apparently, Creative stopped making them as they want to make the new Zen player the "flagship", that will replace the Vision M.[QUOTE="MindFreeze"][QUOTE="Film-Guy"]I kinda feel sorry for people who get ripped off by the ipod touch, who would honestly spend 400$ on a 16 GB MP3 player and not feel ripped off:?

It's a 3.5 inch screen, not 2.5.I've heard about that, but I didnt think it was out yet...Samsung YP-P2. I bought it recently and I'm really enjoying it. It has bluetooth :)
I can't wait till the next firmware update because you'll be able to sync your bluetooth phone with your player to answer calls.

It's a 3.5 inch screen, not 2.5.still even if the screen is that size the quality is stil pretty poor compared to others. Low resolution screen and not as many colors supported. Also its a huge ripoff, who would pay 400$ for a 16GB MP3 player?

Low quality? Now it just sounds like you're making stuff up. The archos is a fine PMP, and so is the touch, but they serve different purposes. The touch is portable while the archos is a huge beast with tons of features. I couldn't care less about the features on the archos so the portability, better web browser and improved interface of the touch make more sense to me. IMO the archos suffers from one of the worst cases of feature creep I've ever seen. I agree that $400 is a lot for 16gb, but touch landed on this list and archos didn't (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2211030,00.asp?sr=hotnews).I kinda feel sorry for people who get ripped off by the ipod touch, who would honestly spend 400$ on a 16 GB MP3 player and not feel ripped off:?

I know 2 people with the touch, and I asked both of them why they would waste that much money on 16 Gigs. They both said the same thing:
"I don't care"
I guess people think iPods make them cool. I'll gladly spend less money and get more when the new Zune ships this month.

Also how is the web browser better? archos uses opera while the touch uses safari. opera is better for portables, since the touches safari is a bit limited. Also who cares if it gets on some stupid list:|
