although I am still mourning the death of my Zen Sleek which went out with a bang (literally!), I have decided the time is ripe for the final showdown between these two giants of the mp3 industy. It will be a bloody battle to the end of the thread, Golden Axe style until there is a final Victor - all votes count.
NB. Once this thread is over, the banter of iPod owners who are design mad against those who prefer the sound quality of the Zen will finally be over.
Who shall prevail? You decide.

I like my iPod. It's the perfect weight (for my pocket) and the size is perfect (for my pocket) and the only times I've had a problem with it are because I've done something stupid like disconnecting it before it was ready etc.
NEver used a Zen so can't comment but I don't own one so they suck cock like a 4th grader.

Nevermind the iPod. Its biggest sales factor is the 'awesome' list of accesories! According to a local dealer...
iAudio is the best the market has to offer right now. The sound on this thing is superior even to the magnificent Sony's (which everyone hates because you can't get pictures on it boohoo and it requires SonicStage.. A pity)
iAudio

Never heard of them but when my iPod packs up I'll be sure to check them out. Can't stick with the same brand all the time.
The first 100gig+ I hear of is probably getting my vote though :D

I think redrums first post actually meant that iPods aren't even close to being as good as Zen. Thats what he meant you can't be serious about.

If you want to find another cheap point for iPod, the work great when you throw them at a chav's head.

that's not cheap, that's a solid point. How could we forget chavs.. then again a point has to go to Zen because a chav is 45% more likely to mug someone for their "cool-looking" iPod rather than a Zen.

Well not under every circumstances of course, but that's no argument for buying equipment of lesser quality for the same price or more expensive. On train rides (which take up 80% of the time I spend listening to music on the device) there is definitely a remarkable difference, I assure you.
Also, don't buy secondgrade in-ears :P
