  • Abstract:  30GB music and video player: Its like an iPod Video, but not made by Apple. Creative, along with other Apple competitors, has been struggling against this perception since the iPod defined the market. Yet despite bearing more than a passing resemblance...

  • Abstract:  It may not have the iPods style, but the Zen Vision: M has all of its features, and then some. The fact that no one seems to knows whether portable video players are a gadget that anyone actually wants isnt stopping manufacturers from releasing the...

  • While the iPod has a couple of advantage over the Vision:M – namely thinness and price – its beaten on almost every other score. Creative almost undoubtedly has a runaway hit on its hands. Will Head Lowest online price: ££146.99 ...
