Hot (but might be local) - Ipod 5gig $229, 10-gig $329

A local CompUSA B&M has the 5 and 10-gig versions of the Ipod on closeout, for $229 and $329 respectively. Only the 20-gig version is full price ($499). These are brand new units, and they have both Mac and PC versions. YMMV obviously - this is in Southern Wisconsin.

For what it's worth, they also had the Creative 'Zen' player, and there is *NO* comparison between it and the Ipod. It was larger, clunkier, had a smaller screen, poorer interface, etc. I wasn't impressed at all...

Enjoy !

Zen: Much cheaper, not considerably larger, better and more powerful interface (in my opinion), capable of playing multiple file formats, incredible sound quality, must faster startup when loaded with files.

iPod is great, but the Zen is no hunk of junk. I love it.
