I would normally stand up for creative, but...
If you want to connect it to an ICE system, then go iPod - as Creative (and the other manufactures or Playsforsure devices) havn't got there act together and come up with a common interface there is nothing to connect a Creative player to an ICE, while allowing control from the stero/steering wheel. Even the introduction of MTP hasn't seen any players take advantage of that
Apart from that Creative products are so much better. Perhaps the next gen will see Bluetooth which can be controlled from the headunit.
If you just want a few tunes to listen too on the way to work - why not look at a mobile phone - for example the Sony Ericsson W800i or K800i? Both have pretty decent MP3 players on them - and are more useful than iPod shuffles.
