"The Creative Zen Vision:M is the first formidable opponent that the video iPod faces. It is very feature-rich, yet some functions are not very well executed. The button layout is logical, but not very intuitive. The most praised area is its stellar DivX/XviD performance as well as the beautiful screen. The video battery life (twice that of 30GB video iPod) is also a fair tradeoff for the large casing. In the end, Microsoft support for PlayforSure stores will ensure a variety of content to fill up your Zen Vision:M. " We've posted a few reviews giving praise to the Vision: M for actually competing with the iPod video. This review steps it up a notch with lots of pics comparing the screens of the two head to head as well as the size of the units.
