...The Creative Zen Vision:M is an MP3 player by Creative. It was released in August 2006. It is available in 30GB or 60GB options and is available in a range of colours: Black, white, pink, blue and green. I chose the white because I think it looks the best and all the rest of the cabling etc and back of the vision:m itself is white so thought it was worth paying £4 extra to get it in white. I also chose the smaller 30GB option as I don't believe I would be able to fill the larger one, though I might be proved wrong but is a lot more expensive anyway.

The box itself is stylish... Read review

I've also found it browsing on the internet and its likely that it will be available from other high street retailers, in particular Dixons which is owned by PC World... Read review

...VisionQuick was a new concept to me, an online optician who makes up your spectacle prescription and offers a wide range of frames at less than high street prices. My partner had had his eyes tested locally and we decided to check out VisionQuick as he knew exactly what he was looking for, flexible frames with no particular designer label. How to use the service. The website is attractive and very easy to navigate. They claim to be one of only a few on-line retailers that is actually backed and owned by qualified and practicing opticians. To use VisionQuick you simply need to send your prescription from your own optician. This must be up to date, under two years old. You then chose your frames from the vast selection on offer, VisionQuick will then produce your new glasses to the requirements of the prescription... Read review
