Creative need not worry about being pushed out of the portable player market any time soon as it was recently discovered that it was clone-wrthy, too. Yes, none other than the Zen Stone Plus was imitated almost feature for feature by Chinese company Yoto. There’s an FM tuner and voice recorder besides MP3 playing. To [...]

Creative has ceased production of its Vision M PMP model, but it’s not too late yet for fans who miss the form factor of ZVM. A Chinese manufacturer has just come out with 2GB MP4 player with the exact same design as ZVM but only in a metal casing. We don’t expect Creative to [...]

Creative just slashed prices from its ZEN PMPs. The 4GB and 16GB versions of the ZEN will now retail for $129.99 and $249.99 repectively. The 8GB version retains its original pricing.

Due to poor sales (we are assuming), Creative will end all production of their Vision: M PMP model. ZVM for short, it has been in the market for 2 years. It’s not a very slim A/V player measuring 62 x 104 x 19mm but it remains functionally portable. Apparently, upgrading the storage to 60GB didn’t [...]

Creative’s new player is simpmly called ZEN, and it looks like most other PMPs only with more, well, finesse. It’s a good successor to the chubby Zen V Plus. The wider 2.5-inch 320 x 240-pixel, 16.7m million-color screen, though nothing special, is still a step up for Creative. ZEN supports WMV, Divx, Xvid, MJPEG, and [...]
