    The Creative Zen Vision: M is a digital audio player. Actually, it plays videos, stores and syncs with MS Outlook, is a removable hard drive, and also is a picture viewer. I've got it. It rocks! http://epizenter.net/news.php

    I don't want to open up a can of worms, but that is my opinion. It has a much better screen, you can play many more formats on it, and you're not stuck with a proprietary interface to load and sync media. It's not as sexy as the iPod and has no where near the amount of accessories as the iPod.

    I just carry my notebook in a sleeve with nothing other than it's battery. That's for Starbucks. If I'm going to game, I take more stuff with me than I actually use. I like to travel light most of the time.
