Strengths: Great sound, touch pad, ease of use, dedicated volume buttons, amazing battery life!!
Weakness: Weight (too heavy)
This is an awesome MP3 player, i would reccomend it to anyone who wants the capabilities to carry around their entire music library wherever they go. Besides that it is bigger and heavier that the apple ipod, i think it is way better overall. The touch pad takes some time to get used to, but after a couple days, or even a couple of hours, you get the hang of it. The sound is superb, the best i...
Strengths: 24hr battery life, awesome audio quality, very intuitive interface, moderate size
Weakness: could use some more firmware updates (there's only been 1)
I love my Zen. I use it with a pair of sony in-ear earbuds and man the quality of the music is amazing. I feel as if I'm right there at the concerts! I really like the battery life, esp. since I always forget to recharge but with this thing it doesn't matter cuz it can run for 24 hrs! Easy to navigate menus, and although the physical size of the player is larger than an iPod, it just means it's...
Strengths: Sound, navigation, software, feel.....
Weakness: The touch pad takes a day or two to get used to, but it is great once you get the hang of it.
I just got it a few days ago, but I find the navigation is simple, and much more intuitive than my IRiver MP3. Sound quality is excellent (once you upgrade the earbuds). Case is high quality, but don't put it in the case until you get all the settings where you want them because the controls can't be accessed when the player is in the case. It feels and sounds like a solid player. I am happy with...
Strengths: has tons of space for music, sound quality is great, plus looks cooler than the ipod for alot less money too
Weakness: the touch pad is kind of sensitive even in the lowest setting but you get used to it, and like everyone said the earphones are alittle cheap but give off descent sound at low volume levels
Im very happy with the zen touch it does everything i need it to do. I do alot of walking at work and it never skips on me, also the transfering music to the player is very fast i did 15 albums in less than 3minutes
Strengths: Long, long battery life,excellent sound and design.
Weakness: A tad bigger than IPOD, heavy, case is pretty much useless, dont offer much accessories...
After a few days of tinker around w/ it, I've become very comfortable and enjoying the music with ease, i.e changing features and using the touchpad. I'm actually preferred this over IPOD (since I also own one)..
Strengths: Excellent sound quality, sturdy construction. Touch pad is responsive and accurate, face buttons are solid, Random has a dedicated button on front. 24 hour battery life.
Weakness: Touch pad has a slight learning curve.
Creative has always beeen known for top notch sound cards a la their SoundBlaster and Audigy lines that are found in today's gaming computers. Creative has managed to pack their signature top notch quality sound processing into a MP3 player, the 20GB Creative Zen Touch. First and foremost, it's touch strip located in the center of the unit is it's main navigation tool. The construction of the Zen...
Strengths: Awsome sound, easy to use, easy to upgrade firmware and drivers. Can use with Rhapsody, Napster, Musicmatch, etc. Can also be used as HD to carry documents and other files.
Weakness: Touch controls take getting used to. Creative software package is not intuitive. I prefer thrid party software from Red Chair which allows you to drag and drop and delete music and files to Zen.
This is my 3rd Zen MP3 player. I've been happy with all three. My two sons now have my old players...They still work and sound great. I have my entire collection of Cd's on my player and still have lots of room for more. My player is used everyday at work (8 hours per day) through a pair of powered speakers and on the road through my car stereo system without any problems. I'd be lost without my...
Strengths: Clean design and solid construction. Great sound quality and the good battery life. Decent pricing.
Weakness: No FM. Non removable battery.
Actually I have been quite pleased with the unit without any complaints. Navigation is not hard; the touch pad is just fine. It is probably one of the best units in the market, and whether one chooses the Ipod is a matter of design choice.
Strengths: Battery Life Storage space Easy to navigate
Weakness: Must be removed from the carrying case in order to access controls.
This is an awesome MP3 player for the price. I paid($199.95 on ZipZoomFly.com). I was also able to take advantage of a $20.00 mail in rebate from Creative Labs which made it an even better buy. I never would have been able to find a deal this good, if I hadn't found it on PriceGrabbers.com. A very big THANK YOU to them. The controls on the Zen Touch are very user friendly and easily mastered in a...

Creative Zen Touch 20 GB HD
Strengths: Good sound quality at a good price compared to the iPod with the same drive. The touchpad is better than the iPod's.
Weakness: Heavier and bulkier than iPod. The battery is not removable. Not easy to find replacement carrying cases for it. The software could be better. Not recognized as a drive by windows xp
Recommended buy, Good value. Overall, I'm happy with my Zen touch. I just ordered my second Zen touch because I dropped my first one and the screen got shattered, still works though.
