I am looking at a new mp3 and video player for christmas, and I want more freedom and less cost than the ipod is offering. I know it is thicker than the ipod video, but some reviews claim better picture and longer battery life.

Does anyone here either have one of these, or have some useful information that would help me make my decision?

My friend has the Zen Vision, It's better than the Ipod in mine and his opinion!
The screen has better colours, it's more vibrant!
They're really easy to navigate around too.

that is good enough for me, for anyone who is interested, Staples has 2 ways to get a zen vision:m 30 gig cheap.
http://www.staplescentral.com/customerAppreciation/customerappreciation.htm
12% off, plus it has $10 off instant, and $50 staples easy rebate for the black one.

You can also try to price match it to circuit city who has it for 199, get 110% price match and then send in the online rebate.

Thanks.

I own one, and it works wonderfully! The screen is absolutely gorgeous. The scroll wheel of the iPod is easier to use, but it's not that hard getting the hang of the Zen:Vision M
