Strangly I owned both Creative Zen (I reviewed it then sent it back to Creative) and the Samsung which I bought myself and then sold (check ebay for my sales if you don't believe me!), both were poor in my view and have sold poorly, thus the reason Microsoft are no longer going to be working on improving the portable media centers as they are today and also the reason Creative went with their own personally designed Portable Media Player, one that is far far better than the versions Microsoft have created. I mean, PMC's screens are awful when compared to systems out now that have much higher resolutions and more hard drive space.
Instead of reading it as a jab, which it wasn't, its just an opinion, they are just not very good for the price that you pay out for them. Reviews are just peoples opinions, you love the Samsung one, its better than the Creative PMC, but in my view its poor, battery life was good, design is great, software is poor at best, screen is low resolution, hard drive space is small, but the ease of transferring media content from the EXCELLENT Microsoft Media Centers is perfect (not I stated Microsoft created something excellent)
