So I just returned my Ipod 30G Video since it was HORRIBLE :x. The whole deal with converting all my videos was too much of a hassle, and now i have my eyes on a PMP. I've narrowed it down to these two, but i can't decide now T_T. Help would be much appreciated! Especially if you have one of these and can give me some personal imput!

Cowon A2
IPB Image

Comes in 20-30G ($270-$350)

Plays AVI, Divx/Xvid, WMV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF. T

hey claim 10 hours video and 18 hours music.

Able to record video w/ an included AV cable, voice recording, text and image viewer, 480 x 272 pixels, 16M color 4 inch Wide TFT-LCD,Supports MP3, OGG, WMA (ASF) and WAV for audio and a video converter is included.

Dimensions (WxDxH): 5.2 in x 0.9 in x 3.1 in
OR

Creative Zen Vision W
IPB Image

Comes in 30G, about $280-$300.

Supports WMV, MPEG-3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, DivX, xvid.

Comes with a AV cable and can play on tv, but can't record.

13 hours music, 4.5 hours video.

Voice recorder

Dimensions - WxHxD - 5.27x 2.95x 1.04 Inches

4.3" WQVGA wide aspect high-resolution TFT LCD screen

Although the Cowon has more capabilities, it's about 30-50 dollars more expensive for the 30G models. Do you guys think the price difference is worth it? I'm contemplating the 20G...but with my dramas i'll have to keep rotating the dramas i want on my PMP.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP=]

...I like Cowon better <3

But if you're up for another option, try the Archos 604

I want it I'm poor though, but I guess I'll spread the Archos love around....

hehehehe, thanks everyone! i bought the cowon last night=] $312 shipped 30 gigs.

jurassic5 - may i ask why you sold it? was there something you disliked/something wrong with it? O.O since i've read from 2-3 people that theirs died on them after a week, which really scared me T_T
