CNET editors has reviewed Creative Zen Micro Photo (8GB) and gave it an ‘Excellent’ rating, 8.3 out of 10. Creative Zen Micro Photo also received CNET Editor’s Choice.
The good: The Creative Zen Micro Photo features a bright, colorful OLED that’s viewable from any angle, and it’s available in a choice of 10 body colors. This MP3 player also includes useful extra features such as a user-replaceable battery, a voice recorder, a photo viewer, an FM tuner, and an onboard calendar and task manager that syncs with Microsoft Outlook. The Zen Micro Photo is also out-of-the-box compatible with Janus (Windows Media DRM 10) and offers excellent sound quality.
The bad: Unfortunately, the Creative Zen Micro Photo doesn’t let you listen to music and browse photos simultaneously, and album art is not supported at this time. The touch pad on this device can take some getting used to.
The bottom line: The Creative Zen Micro Photo is an excellent full-featured MP3 player and, for its size, a decent photo viewer; it just doesn’t combine the two effectively.

New Creative Vision:M case appears from Protective Solutions
Protective Solutions, a maker of protective cases for electronics devices, has debuted a case for Creative’s Zen Vision:M MP3 player. The new invisibleShield for the Creative Zen Vision:M is priced at $24.95 for a full body version and $14.95 for a front-side option only.
The invisibleShield for Creative Zen Vision:M, said Protective Solutions, comes in two varieties. One covers the entire front of the device , including the screen and the controls. The other option shields the front, the sides and the back of the device, creating “full-body” protection. These cases are designed to protect the player from scratches and dings and are made from a film originally created to protect the leading edges of helicopter blades.

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB, green) Reviews
CNET has reviewed Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB, green) and writes
The good: Available in five colors, the Creative Zen Vision:M has an incredible screen, a simple interface, excellent video battery life, an FM tuner and recorder, and a voice recorder. It features a customizable Shortcut button, and it supports a wide range of online music stores and subscription services, as well as video formats. It has excellent audio and video quality.
The bad: The Creative Zen Vision:M has no iTunes-like video content–yet–or support for Audible content–yet. Some will find the touch-pad controller frustrating. The black model scratches easily. The documentation is skimpy. You must use an adapter for transfers and power, meaning that occasionally you need two cables and the adapter. A dock and an A/V-out cable are not included. Finally, the Zen Vision:M isn’t as elegant as an iPod.
The bottom line: The dazzling, DRM-friendly Creative Zen Vision:M gives the iPod a run for the money as the current high-capacity WMA champ. |
