I had a Creative Nomad for 4 years...loved it!
My client wnated me to do Podcasts, so I had to buy an ipod to make sure I was doing things on the upload/download correctly.
I've had the ipod for 2 years.
I much prefer the Creative. It is not proprietary. What I load onto it, I can then hook up to another computer & it sees it as another drive; I can then move music where I want it, AFTER I BUY the music!!!
Apple just puts their imprint all over their stuff & you can't move the music.
And I'm not stealing the music! I pay for the album download & I can't have it on multiple computers, & players!
Talk about a Monopoly!
If it wasn't for my clients saying "Podcast, podcast, blah, blah blah" I would never have that piece of equipment.
I think in the next year I will go back to Creative.
What about webex (instead of podcast). That seems to be the latest move in meetings.
