I don't think that 8gb is enough, but the next step is 32gb and there's a $113 difference. I have a Creative Zen PMP, the XFi-2 is two steps up from it and seems pretty cool, but seeing demos on youtube it just doesn't seem to have a very good touchscreen interface, and the ipod does, right? Thoughts? Is there anything else I should consider? Please note my wife isn't really interested in much other than how 'cool' it is, but I want to make sure she doesn't get anything crap.	pine-o-cleen (2955)

You could buy a new 3rd Generation or a used 2nd Generation or new 4th Generation. The new ones are much more expensive. If you don't need all that power, camera and faster processor and graphics, go for the 3rd gen.	sahilcc7 (15483)

1147467	2010-10-25 09:19:00	For me I would go for the zen x-fi. Sound quality is much better and no annoying Itunes. I can just play games on the PC, playstation 3, xbox, wii etc. I wouldn't play games on a 3 inch screen. How about Cowon J3?	Ninjabear (2948)
1147468	2010-10-25 09:36:00	If its for your wife, get her what she wants. itunes maybe a bug bear for some but for her it will be nice and simple. Creative has no wifi, that in itself is a non issue for a music player. But if all she wanted was a music player you could buy her a walkman.	plod (107)
