Muvo is heavier than shuffler. It's full of bugs. It's filmsy compared to shuffler. Shuffler might not be something new in the product in term of specifications and use, but the brains of operating it and its syncronization with an OS is unchallenged by the muvo. So what if the muvo was 4 years ago? It wasn't a fantastic product. It wasn't exactly a breeze to use either. I'll stick to shuffler for this, Mr. Sim, you've disgraced Creative for such an immature press statement. Not hard to decide who'll win this war, just like how I've tossed the muvo into my trashcan 3.2 years back Sick of this debate.

With a normal mp3 player, they have to go to windows explorer and find the file they want then copy and paste.. blah blah... iPod has an image. When someone has an iPod - you think that they're cool. If u have creative, no one will really care. I am sorry to say that Creative will laugh at themselves when iPod shuffle takes over the market. For me, I would choose Creative over iPod, simply because of the technology.

The one thing you can guarantee with an Apple product is that there will be software to support it, and adding tracks to your Shuffle through iTunes is going to be easier than laboriously copying them across by hand and creating manual playlists.
