Creative unveils their newest PMP, the Zen X-Fi, featuring what else but X-Fi, which is the best MP3-playing you could possibly get in the market. It’s no touch-screen but it’s WiFi-enabled. Most interesting is the numeric keypad, which can be used for “Tchatter” over Yahoo Messenger, GTalk or MSN. So what can users expect from X-Fi? Basically, there are two settings: X-Fi Crystalizer and X-Fi Expand. Crystalizer restores details that may have been lost during the compression while Expand moves sound from the ear to somewhere in front of you simulating the real experience in listening to music. Crystalizer makes for richer sound quality (which I prefer, actually) while Expand is more of a concert-like experience.
With this player, Creative also launches its new software “Centrale.” With Centrale, everything from video, audio and photos are supported. It will also allow users to rip DVDs and creative a server for file sharing. Electronista thinks this is Creative’s move againts Apple’ iTunes. Let’s see Apple copy that. Also, from what EpiZENter found out, there might be Zen X-Fis without WiFi because the user guide specifically mentions that “This section applies to ZEN X-Fi players with wireless LAN features.”
Other features include 2.5-inch screen, FM tuner, speakers, microSD slot. Unfortunately no price yet or date of availability, though speculation from other sources say official launch could be days away.
