I have checked and searched a lot to decide which PMP to buy. I started out with three options iPod, Zune and Creative Zen. But after seeing that the zune is too heavy maybe its an older version. I dropped the idea. What do you all think is a better option Creative Zen or iPod? From whatever I seen of Creative Zen I liked it but I'm not sure how big will the screen be. I have seen one with my friend which Zen V Plus and it costs $ 69.99 but I feel the screen is too small. I think the one which is Zen $ 79.99 looks better but I'm not sure how big the screen is going to be. I also checked the iPod Nano which looks cool but I think screen is too small.
Apart from this I also checked out Mitashi MP4 player which costs Rs 4990 for 4 GB. I haven't heard about the name. Thought the screen is good but I'm not sure about the navigation buttons. Is it really good?

I think MAX is suggesting to go for 2k with Camera. The Mitashi player is ok the buttons are also not so good. We will not Creative in India right?

Yeah Vex Byte I did check the Philips GoGear 2 GB Player. It's really good but I think I checked the 4 GB one which costs around Rs 6000.

Can we get creative Zen in India? Zen Stone is more like iPod Shuffle I think. I need a PMP which can play videos as well. How are meizu players? I think Transcend one can't play videos. I already have 2 GB Transcend.
