Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 for my vid i-pod, its...ok ...for me the wheel is very easy for me because its simply touch. u move ur finger around and its used for scrolling options and controlling volume. The middle button is much harder (for me) and its used for selection. there are also buttons on the wheel for fast-forward/rewind/pause/play. Since you can press the buttons on your cellphone you could probably do this. the buttons are also close together. Jade MP3 players I'm really frustrated with my Creative Zen player.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I have problems using the third generation ipod. I have tremors and the buttons are really sensitive for me. The older version is easier for me to use. Suzanne On Nov 1, 2008, at 9:41 PM, Alana wrote: > I'm really frustrated with my Creative Zen player. I'm throwing in > the towel and considering an iPod.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Get the ipod touch. All you need to push occasionally is the home button, and even I can push that if I'm in position.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Same here Alana, I'm currently selling my Zen X Fi on eBay because the buttons are just too hard to press and flush with the surface. Hope I can recoup a portion of my money it was kinda expensive. Gonna get a Sansa View as they also have the scroll wheel and are cheaper. This is an awesome player with great sound and features but just cannot navigate LOL........Doug http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem & item=160295827009 & ssPageName=ADME:\ L:LCA:US:1123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi Alana, I love my iPod (together with my account at audible!). It is very easy to use, even with cold fingers.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 i have ipod shuffle 2nd gen and it`s ok, just have to push buttons lightly. i also have zen stone, but it`s not so great. and lately i got ipod nano 2nd gen and i must say it`s really cool. scroll well works great and it`s quite light. love & light Patie http://patie80.multiply.com http://lilithfromearth.livejournal.com -> in polish (but not only) http://www.jtsma.org.uk -> fund for sma http://patie.tripod.com http://blog.myspace.com/patie80 - in polish http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=patie80 - videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have a hard time pushing the buttons on my IPod. There's some knock off mp3 players with easier buttons. Some mp3 player protective casses can make the buttons harder to use. Go play with display models at the store or borrow a friends before buying one so you'll know what's the best type for you. > > > > I'm really frustrated with my Creative Zen player.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I personally love my iPod Touch. Of course, I didn't have much problem working the buttons on the old iPod Minis or the Shuffles either. Jenn On Nov 1, 2008, at 10:35 PM, wrote: > I love my nano ipod.
