This is off topic but it is still electronically related

I am in the market right now for a mp3 player w/ hardrive, as far as having the specs and features that I like I narrowed it down to TWO

The Ipod mini (I know it is so cliche') but it really seems nice, and the iriver h10

I need to buy within the next 48hrs and I have been on the computer all day and night trying to find the best one for me, I am interested in sound quality and accessories. The iriver has color displays and stores pictures and has slide show and music on 5mb and has a fm tuner installed, the ipod mini 6GB does not, but it has a strong accessories background.
I do not want to be stuck with an iriver and have no support
PLEASE, HELP ME WITH YOUR IMPUT!

The ipod won't support WMA files. So if you plan on buying music online from any place other than itunes, you'll want the iRiver.

I would get the iRiver. FM Tuner is a huge plus, IMHO.

I have one of those Dell Jukeboxes which didn't sell to well, but I like it. Way better than those cliched ipods.

I ended up getting the Creative Zen Micro, it had all the features of the Ipod mini, but has a fm tuner and a works well with wmp10 (which I love using). I got the belkin car fm player with it and it works well in the car. By battery life is alright nothing more, and I actually like it's touch pad alot it just needs some getting used to.

I 5 gigs, and you can also get firmware upgrades online

I honestly give it a 10 I really really like it

I have one of those Dell Jukeboxes which didn't sell to well, but I like it. Way better than those cliched ipods.

Neither did I even though it was tempting, that click wheel is so cool, but if you really look at it the Ipod has less features and cost more, I don't why cnet loves it so much

Yeah, I don't really get it either. I'm glad that you made a good choice though. Everyone I know that has the Zen really likes it.

I can not wait till they come out with the zen micro photo, but I heard that it was going to be expensive.
