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....

Link to amazon here

This one do the same stuff for less?

what about this archnos?

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.

ooohhh get the Zen Vision- that thing makes me salivate....and then tell us all about it....dont forget lots of pics! :)

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.

is there one out there that lets me listen to music, watch movies, store data, and view pdf files? I would like one fairly cheap...

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.

This is less but it is worth the price cut? (im looking at $400 max :()
