- > Start < - Creative Zen PMP (Portable Media Player)

I've always been interested in these types of PMP component packages whether it's a standard screen model, or whether it is HD quality or touchscreen quality. The OLED screen definition is very good, sheer gloss and glamour which is very user friendly; it has a Nokia feel for me; not surprising really as both companies originated in the East and Chinese market before setting their sights on the Western digital market.

The 2cms X 2cms squared screen is of very high quality and holds it's own in the function stakes. The MP3 Player only is compatible with JPEG customary images. That you can load off from a digital camera, the PC, or from the internet itself. The audio quality is crystal clear, of course depending on the size of file the MP3 file as the higher the size of the file the better the quality. The one thing that saddened me with this product was the fact that it has limited file recognitions.

**Software included: MediaSource - MediaExporer - ZenCast Organiser ** The Zen does have some excellent features that do include these free PMP applications that comes with the package.

PLEASE NOTE > NO - MT - Mobile Technology functions are available with this product. ** No MP4 converting or encoding is available**. For any songs that have been downloaded onto your PC from paid music sites (Protected by copyright) will be able to be played by this MP3 Player

- 8GB of music storage -

I find the 8GB is sufficient to play over a 10000 MP3 music tracks. The transfer rates are fast due to the fast USB transfer fast - track Windows music browser software. What is a noticeable difference is that it is not an ipod. There are not so many features nor as stylish and slick. Naturally, there is no iTune extravaganza, with freebies and membership options that Apples ipod do include. In my opinion there is only one iPod MP3 player. No-one can emulate it. If, you're an iPod fanatic this MP3 player could put your nose out of joint; it carries a slightly clumsy portable player look and feel than Apples' iPod marketing dream machine. The display is of good quality but now looks a little outdated; amazing really as it is only 10 months old. Just shows how quickly this market turns over digital products and designs.

- Styled on Apples iPod -

The timing for the Zen launch co-incided with the earlier ipod nano launch earlier this year (2007). I'm no Creative fan as they seem to miss out on the boat regards to style and nano technology. The feel of the PMP is notably clumsier than ipods from Apple. Though functionally very astute and slick. My interpretation on this MP3 player reminds me of the first pace-maker in the mid 1990's. Sorry Creative, your still lagging behind on this matter. Yes you have rounded the edges off nicely and the glossy colours do this product proud but still lacks a chic-ness that Apple does so well.

- Size matters -

Weighing in at 44g - Yes this is a hefter, no it has not put on weight since the beginning of 2007. It is just that Zen V Plus is not part of the nano technology revolution. 2007 is the year where nano popped over to the UK and gave out the Werthington humbugs; thanks nano.

- Zen's extras -

Yes, please take note; the 8GB is a fanastic amount of digital MP3 space for a start. The voice-recording is a fab utility - please try it; I did it was a revelation. Extreme quality; not that I like my own voice of course, though it does help. External recordings again superb. Ideal accessory for a pop concert maybe. Sending love poems to your sweetheart. No bucket is included with the PMP and ear phones; so keep it clean.

- That important price -

Retails for over 159.00 GBP- Available online from www.dabs.com - 129.00 GBP - For even great offers checkout a cashback offer before buying this product as you can save up to 50.00 GBP - Worth checking out online for these deals.

- My verdict -

I'm going to give this PMP a 6/10 overall. Not a favourite of mine even though functionally superb and has some very favourable attributes as mentioned.

I hope you have found this review helpful.

Small but Gifted
Review of Creative ZEN V Plus 8 GB by themike777

Advantages: Small and light but still packs memory and battery power
Disadvantages: Screen smudges easily

The good things about this mp3 player is that it is very small and light but also packs a 8GB memory. The display also offers great detail on such a small screen but can be hard to read in bright light and although the player can play videos, this function is pretty much useless because the screen is so small. The casing material can very easily smudge with finger prints but atleast you will never see scratches, makes the constant wiping acceptable. ...
...makes this player very reliable and it is easily charged through usb to a PC, it cannot play music while charging. The navigational stick and buttons are very simple and requires virtually no time to get use to. You can also record directly onto it without using a PC. It has a line in so that cd's can be put onto it through this. And it also has a built in microphone. The player can not just store video, music and pictures but you can also dedicate ...

Why go Zen!
Review of Creative ZEN V Plus 8 GB by bendontgamble

Advantages: Smart / reliable / Sharply designed
Disadvantages: Only 8GB

The creative Zen V Plus, is one of those rare items that looks good, sounds good and can stand the test of time. There is a brilliant feel when holding one, and its smart, sophisticated yet its 'gadgety' feel, proves never to fade away. The Zen is perfectly reliable and as quick loading songs after a year as when it was brand new. It is literally 'creative' and jazzy in its appearance, yet conventionally is still the most popular design for music ... Read review
