    OK, so here's the story, I want a nice media player, main focus is Music, videos, and to a lesser extent, movies. I don't need games, or silly little "Apps", as I have a DS lite and I am very happy with it, and i believe the best games _need buttons_. Only portable upgrade I will do is the 3DS when it comes out. In the past, I have used my phone (Samsung A737) as my media player, and I had an adapter. 3 words: Pain in the ass

     Anyway, my phone broke, I've been using my mom's shitty Krazr, and my contract comes up in... about a month. I looked for decent phones I could afford (not requiring a data plan) with a 3.5mm audio jack and only the "Karma" came up. I will not buy the karma (ugleh and lame). Only phone I can get is the samsung impression... No 3.5mm DX

    So, I'm going in this time. I've never bought a portable media device. I've always either used my DS (hacking) or my phone. I have a hatred toward apple, for many reasons. Do NOT suggest the iPod Touch or iPad to me. My brother had one and I don't want it. I REALLY want the Creative Zii Egg (look it up, it will blow your mind), but it seems this device may never see the light of the market production, and I'm not buying the $400 developer's version, and I have been dying without my music.

    I dislike syncing (i <3 drag-and drop), but I do like the sleekness of current-generation, I like lightweight and smallness and I like touchscreens. The HD Radio sounds kinda cool (although I many never use it) Although the Zune HD has no replaceable battery pack, I can oversee that, as it has a longer battery life than the touch. The price ($165 at amazon for 16GB model) is very nice as well. So far, the Zune HD seems like the right choice for me.

    One feature that peaked my interest in the Zune HD: HD Output to TV. Paying ~$80 for the doc is not worth it though. I DO have an XBOX 360 (and 2 PS3's if that would work?), and I know they can sync for the most part the same as a doc... And the 360 is in my room and I have my TV wired to my stereo. X360's are also fairly popular in my area.

Main questions:

-Any other suggestions?
-Any loss in this 360 setup vs. the dock (besides slight portability)?
-Anything really important applications/updates I should d/l with the Zune HD? I've seen a guitar tuning app... I know the xbox has a fb app and the ipod touch has a YT app. Those would probably be nice, but those are all and I can live without them. 

Thank you in advance!

if you would also like gaming,then you should wait till E3 just a couple of days away.PSP2 could be announced.it would also be a great PMP
