Creative Zen Reviews

RegHardware reviews the Creative Zen and writes;

” So, what should you opt for? It’s a tough call. We really liked the Zen. If you’re determined not to go down the Apple route, you’ll find the Zen a worthy rather than wannabe competitor. But, we still feel that Creative isn’t quite there with this undeniably capable option. It’s close, but it’s no iPod killer.”

“The design is durable and a comfortable fit in your hand. The 16.7 million color screen looks great, as does the video played back on it…It is a fantastic player in many ways but one of its main attractions, the expandable memory, was not done right. If this is an important feature to you, don’t buy it until this problem is fixed or go ahead and buy any other player with expandable memory, since all the rest managed to get it right.”

CNET Asia reviews the Creative Zen and writes;

“The bottom line: 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.”

LaptopMag reviews the Creative Zen and writes;

“Creative missed the mark in terms of ease of use, and we hate the long bootup time. Plus, the nano offers a much sleeker and more elegant design. Nevertheless, mobile video mavens may prefer this device because it offers a bigger screen and expandable storage for a lower price.”
