Last we heard from the Singaporean company it was about a rather surprising Zen Moo Mp3 player. Last we heard anything significant from Creative, it was about the even more surprising X-Fi. So it’s  arather big drop at one’s expectations level when we heard just a while ago that the player above is going to be the new face of Creative Zen. The MX is a 2.5-inch with 320 x 240 resolution playing only Creative’s proprietary CMV video file. Other file support is pretty, pretty meager: MP3, DRM’d WMA, JPG. Wow, but coming at prices like $102 for the 8GB and $144 for the 16GB (both have SDHC card slot) it most likely would sell enough to take care of Creative’s current overhead.

With the announcement of the Zen MX comes announcement of price reductions for the above-mentioned X-Fi: in Japan that boils down to 2,000 yen price reduction for the 32GB and the 8GB and a massive 4,000 yen for the 16GB.
