Creative's pride the new Creative Zen

Advantages: Excellent audio, loads of features, price
Disadvantages: A bit sloppy video

...really a heartening arrival from Creative planners and it seems this highly rated organization is getting their acts together. They have had lot of promise and Creative Zen, the latest arrival from their pipeline has established that they have the capacity to live up to the expectations. I always thought that user or customer feedback network is essential the success of products which have to cope of with such massive international competetion and ...
...look and a feel of Creative Zen it struck me that this was designed to compete with iPods at a reasonable level, being an iPod heater, Creative Zen has hardly meant a threat to the iPod community. In terms of technology and quality it’s yet to reach the class to give a reasonable challenge to Apple iPods. But all said and done Creative Zen has definitely got the class, as far as the audio players are concerned, to remarkably enhance Creative’s Audio ...

A NICE LITTLE NUMBER

Advantages: fantastic sound, expandable memoery
Disadvantages: Not very intuitive, USB cable provided far too short

This is a wonderful little player, miles better than the ipod as it has a built in FM radio plus you can expand its memory till your heart's contect via any SD card. It plays most file types and the sound quality as well as FM reception even on a moving train is outstanding. Videos have superb quality and the screen is reasonable in size. The phone cord acts a a very sensitive aerial and is long enough to improve recption even in the heart of the ...
...screen capability but for me the ability to expand memory via an SD card and to be able to listen to FM radio more than compensates for this. A clever accesory is a charger (supplied separately) that enables you to switch from one plug to another as you travel from country to country. ...

Not so creative...

Advantages: great design
Disadvantages: dificult to use

Creative Zen Mozaic has a great design. The 9 control buttons, throw chromatic selection and arrangement, are a beautiful solution for the visual impact. But, there is the aspect and there is the use. After playing a little with his functions, your eyes are getting tired and you are a little nervous about the foggish image. The buttons are small, very close one to another and have the same form. Well, at sound chapter things are pretty well - dinamic, ...
...seeing a video, the powerful colors are trying to jump into your eyes. As for software, it lacks a lot...You can use it just as MTP, with files WMP11. Creative Zen Mozaic sounds and looks great, at a right price, but with things to improve in hardware and software. ...

Zen Mozaic Review

Advantages: Lightweight, good sound from the speaker, nice user interface
Disadvantages: sometimes laggy, not great video quality

This is a great little device, it is one of the lightest mp3 players ever and the little speaker in the back is pretty loud. The whole device seems relatively well built, albeit a little plasticky. You would think that the buttons on the front would start to wobble around a bit after a bit of use, but they actually remain pretty sturdy. Let's start with the boot up. From holding the button down to the main screen opening it takes less that a mere ...
...user interface is very nice, with everything sliding onto the screen when certain buttons are pressed. You can easily click on music, then have it sorted by artist, song e.t.c. In the main music menu, you get quite a nice slideshow of all your album covers. When you select a song to play, it comes up with details of the song and a faint image of the album cover, if available. It would be nicer if the album cover was solid, and right in the center ...

Creative Zen V Plus

Advantages: Great sound, easy controlls, looks great!
Disadvantages: small screen to watch video's on.

This Creative Zen V Plus is a stylish little mp3 player that is very handy and looks very nice. With the 1GB version you can fit about 1000 songs on there and you can also store some video files and watch them (providing they are the correct format). The controll system mainly consists of a play/pause button, a stop button and a stick that allows you to controll left,right,up,down and select. Also there is an on off button on the side and a volume ...
...are very neat and are extreamly easy to use. In the menu you have options for music, video, picture, settings, now playing and a extras menu. In music you can select to browse by artist, album or just have a list of all the songs. You can have multiple play modes consisting of shuffle, play all, repeat, repeat all. There is a cool equaliser to select how you want your music to sound. The sound quality is very good and you do get a very good mp3 ...
