iPod follower with a reasonable pricetag
Sure; Apple’s iPod and iPod mini are currently the most desirable portable MP3 players, but that would also mean there will be more competitors to claim a share of the pie. Creative is by no means a slacker in its products and has come up with the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra to lend their assault on the Apple stronghold.
Buy.com has the 30GB version of the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra (what a mouthful; cut the namelength, Creative) going for $209.99 (list $239.99), including free shipping. Check it out here.
