The September 2006 revision (often called generation 5.5) featured a brighter display, longer video battery life, and a music search function. The 60GB model was upgraded to 80 GB.

It's been about a year, we both were wrong, however I was closer.

It's been about a year dumbass.

And didn't you just say "Sounds like 6 years to me". Dumbass.

I said 6 months(give or take 3 months), which is closer than 3 years dumbass.

First, he was exaggerating with 3 years. Second, I hardly think the 5.5 counts as an update, as evidenced by the .5 rather than the 6 version number. And a year lifespan for a product is pretty good. Why let a product decay for 2 or 3 years?

The only company that's done that is Microsoft and that was with Internet Explorer. Look how that turned out for them. Although, I'm curious if the Zune has been updated at all.

I've had a 30 G for over 2 years now and it works fine. Freezes once in a great while, but I take care of it and don't treat it bad. Still works like a charm.

Any thoughts? Words of wisdom?

I have a Creative Zen Vision: M, and I love it. It's a little bulkier than the iPod equivalents, but it plays DivX and Xvid formats natively, so there's no converting files that you...uh...might come across by completely legal means on the internet. I used to watch an episode of Family Guy each direction on my work commute.

However, Creative's wannabe podcast system sucks, and it takes forever to convert files that were intended for an iPod (in .mp4 format).
