iPod vs Nomad Help

[mace]

I have the option to get an Apple Ipod or a creative nomad jukebox 3 (both 40gb) for free. it is part of a reward program at work. I do not know which one is better and I am looking for your help. I want to hook it up to speakers and play music around the house. The ipod seems to have a better kbps rate and many extras, but the creative seems to hook up to anything and everything. ipod says you can use it for ll kinds of PDA style things, but I only saw one output source. Nomad has many different kinds. Also, I am interested in an AC plug. I saw one for ipod but not nomad. I don't know too much about either one. Which one is better and why?

personally i would reccomend the ipod. it has great sound quality and is very easy to use. you can buy some external speakers but as far as sterios goes youd have to talk to someone else. i recently bought a ipod 20 GB and it works great. ive had only one trouble, you have to buy a ipod to usb connecter ($20), but that is my only complaint.
