Creative Zen V Plus (8 GB, 2000 Songs) MP3 Review

After seeing all my friends pull out their iPod nanos, I had some serious mp3 player-envy.  I wanted to be able to pull out my favorite song at a moments notice, but had balked at iPod's high price for a limited investment.  Most people have stated to me that the battery gives up after 3 years.  So I did some research and found the Creative website.  The Zen is the equivalent of the iPod Nano, and the Stone is the equivalent of the iPod Shuffle. 

 I purchased a Zen V Plus (the high end model) for half of the price of a Nano.  So far I am very happy with my purchase.  Its the size of a fat box of matches and plays for 15 hours after only two hours charging.  I can keep photos and videos on it as well - no more digging for pictures of my nephew in the bottom of my purse!  There is even a calendar and appointment feature (but I havn't tested that out yet).

I recommend that people step off the iPod train and start looking at other brands.  They are the same product for less money!
