If you are interested in addons, hooking it up to your car, all kinds of
little accesories, cases etc then there is nothing like the iPod.
Many automobile audio systems are iPod ready, not just a line level jack
but a data port.
If yours is not you can get adapters that will hook to your iPod and head
unit that will allow you to control the iPod from the head unit and
display song info on the screen of the car unit.
No other device has the support that the iPod has.
Nobody is even close.
However, if you just want a nice unit to play music on look at Sansa and
some of the others.
Like I said before, avoid the Creative Zen Vision M.
