Some more things to consider:
-The Nano is of low quality and is prone to scratches and failure of the non
replaceable (and short lived) battery. You paying for the name and that's
all.
-You are forced to use the buggy and featureless iTunes software to sync
your iPod unless you want to use unsupported third party hacks.
-You can _only_ buy music from the iTunes Music Store. With the creative
player you can purchase from any online music store except iTunes.
-The Nano is assembled by the cheapest third world child slave labor Apple
can find. The Creative is assembled is a modern factory in Singapore.
Buy the Creative. It's better for you and your karma.
