 Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 2988 Msg: #1 800 days ago, September 14th 2006 |  Back in Asia in the backmalls of Kuala Lumpur's electronic district, I stumbled on the creative vision zen, sleek black and sporting a fabulous 3.7inch high color and contrast screen capable of playing virtually every form of video. I wanted one... but at the price only 30gb?Just a few days ago Creative launched the Zen Vision W - the screen is now 16:9, 4.5inchs, weighs 300g and features a 60gb harddrive... So this is the item currently top of my gadget wishlist. Anyone got one?

I'll let you know how it is. I did play around with one in the store and it looks so nice. The screen is really clear, photos look amazing on it. I'll be getting the 60G one so I can use it as a harddrive and store my photos on it from any trips I take to unload my camera (with the extra card reader I'll have to buy). | Cant wait till April!!! Cheers.

Caveats are that it doesn't interface well with Mac's, it requires conversions for many video types, a little slow with fast forwarding/rewinding. Overall I'm happy with it, it won't replace my laptop but for me works a whole lot bet than an iPod, it's about the same size as one of the original iPods - bigger than the current generation. For photos the display is really nice, great for show casing best shots, it has good battery life on mp3 player mode. I wish there was a little flip out stand on the case.

One problem - it lost the entire contents one afternoon for no reason - I had to reset it - which involved a weird combo of key presses at startup. But has worked fine since this.
