Well, what the iPod -has- got going for it is a really, really solid design, both ergonomically and in build, and iTunes, which is an excellent program. My Creative Zen Touch is pretty danged good - and it does have a better battery capacity than the iPod - but Creative Mediasource Organizer is a bit too buggy to be wuv'd.
As with the whole Mac VS PC argument... It's really just a matter of solidity. You know you're getting something that won't break down within half a year when you get it from Apple. Apparently. S'what I hear from everyone who actually has a Mac, and as a PC user whose computer now takes two minutes to boot up into Windows XP and runs slower than it used to even though it's completely spyware-free, that's the reason why I'm getting a Mac the next time I'm buying a computer :)
