These are my options. This is a xmas pressie for my hubby who isnt remotely techincal and will not use half of the features. Which is the best value? One is a IPOD ITouch 8gb refurb the other is a Creative Zen 16 gb both at a touch under £100
Many thanks in advance

The latest edition of Computer Shopper compared various players. It gave the Creative Zen (at £130) 3 stars, the ippod nano 16gb (at £135) 4 stars and the Ipod Touch 64GB (at £297) 5 stars.

They also gave 5 stars to

the Philips GoGear Muse 16GB (at £150)

The 8gb Touch is a beautiful piece of kit and I loved playing with it but qould never buy it because I like listening to radio as well as mp3's so really it depends what your husband likes to listen to.

I would say if hes not overly fussed by features go for the zen for the extra storage.

I'll be getting my OH the 8GB touch this Christmas "shes been dropping hints!". And she'll want those extra features (well at least over christmas day :rolleyes:) at the expense of additional storage space.

Amazon are also doing Sony 16GB for the price of 8GB - e.g. the NWZE445 (in black or red) for £59.99. Throw in a Sony cashback of £15 and it comes in at £45!!
