Having already seen how Creative has miniaturised its audio players (in the form of the Zen Stone and Zen Stone Plus), it didnt come as a surprise when the company first told us it would be introducing a smaller version of its Zen Vision portable medi...
The Creative Zen sounds fantastic and features a brilliant color screen capable of displaying photos and video. The player offers a smorgasbord of desirable extras such as an SD card expansion slot, an FM radio, a voice recorder, and a user-definable E...
Featureheavy, SD card slot for instant memory upgrades Onehanded operation a little tricky, Skimps on bundled accessories Gadget lover’s player may lack Wi-Fi, but it has lots of other features, supports a wide array of formats, and accepts SD Cards.

We're hard-pressed to find anything not to like about the Creative Zen. It's a great option for anyone looking for a great-sounding, pocketable MP3 player with an excellent, video-capable screen and plenty of extra features.
Conclusion:The Zen is an interesting device, and has battery life and sound quality on its side. Ultimately, though, it's hampered by Microsoft's apparent insularity.

Capacity, screen... GUI lay out, SD card content not fully integrated... Despite the frankly outlandish lie about the size, which just goes to show people in marketing can be trusted as much as a politician or an ex girlfriend – it does have its go
