===============================
Hits and Misses
The 910 player also includes a few features the iPod lacks, such as an FM tuner, FM transmission, and line-in MP3 encoding. While these extras certainly give you more audio to play with on the go, the 910 has a few downsides.
Poor backlight kept me wondering where the brightness controls were. The contrast option doesn't help much.
You can't create playlists on the fly.
Despite the cool blue lights and cute Napster startup logo, the overall look is boring.
I don't like the player controls. You need to push down deep to activate them. Selecting songs wasn't as easy as accidentally pushing "Forward" or "Backward."
The FM tuner comes with a tiny antenna. You're limited to a few low-station settings, which can create interference in urban areas where lots of stations will override the 910.
I always like MP3 encoding. But unlike the iRiver iHP-120, which encodes up to 320 Kbps, the 910 has only 160 Kbps max.
=================================================
and i dont like the fact that i will probably have to use the napster 2.0 software... i wait for more info about the creative one and then compare the two.

If you went for the iPod, it would be a lot easier. I chose iPod because I didn't know what to buy and I'm very pleased with it. I bought an iSkin eVo Carbon case for it and now my iPod is one of the gadgets I "LOVE" to use day&night...
No matter whatever you buy, first check the customer care. Another reason I chose iPod was because it has the best customer services in Turkey. I had a blown piece of earphones and they replaced it no questions asked. (I had boosted the volume 50% up and they knew it.)
PS: One of my 2 friends who bought a Dell DJ a month ago is selling it and buying a 40GB iPod...
I knew that you didn't want an iPod but I couldn't stand it... I know that this won't change your ideas but I thought I'd give it a shot...

well ipod isnt looking as bad as it was. The price is and issue because i wanna get a 20 gb and its way too much. I could get a 20gb one like from iriver or creative for like £100 less.
