    Creative Zen 20 GB Portable Media Center

    I was looking through a pc magazine today and saw an article on this thing. it seems pretty cool. Are there better option for a similar price range? I like being able to watch tv or movies without a disk....

    I would get the Zen Vision or the iAudio A2. The A2 is quite a bit better, but also more expensive, and relatively hard to find.

    edit: http://dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.2282 <-- zen vision
    http://dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.2035 <-- a2

    I use one of the slightly older Archos models, although mainly for recording and then watching stuff later rather than putting existing video files on it. Very pleased with it, not quite neat enough just to stick in your pocket but you get a lot of functionality for the size.

    Archos have the PMA series, which is a cross between a PDA and one of their video devices but they aren't cheap.

    You may be better looking at a PDA and Microdrive, storage would be a lot less but it would be capable of playing music and videos plus viewing PDFs and similar.
