Creative Zen (4 GB)

Rohan Naravane, Jan 23, 2008 1609 hrs IST

This will probably make you think again about the Nano!

A well-sized, good quality screen, A fast and visually appealing User Interface, Speedy data transfers, Extras like Voice Recorder, FM Radio and an SD Card slot, Good battery life, Good media management software.

Bundled ear-phones could have been better.

Great for the price, I've got an 8gb zen with a 16gb memory card and i've got to say that I love it. I find it far less intrusive than an ipod (i-tunes is a load of ball bag). My only dislikes are that it can crash quite often (not much of a problem since you can just press reset without losing any information). Oh, and NEVER try and connect it to your hi-fi while its being connected to a charger otherwise it'l break (had to learn the hard way but bought another one soon as)

Can we see the video files or hear audio files stored on SD/SDHC card directly? What is the battery life? What is the price in Delhi?

Also, the USB cable bundled is a rather short one. Of course, any other USB cable can be used, but why to give a short one in package? Also, External SD card is treated as different device. It does not get integrated with the library. May be Creative can come up with a firmware which has a function where one can integrate data on SD card with player's library... I bought this player a mnth back and its performing awesome. Agreed, bundled headphones r not good. I bought myself a new pair and then i understood the power of the player. Video is awesome. 4.5/5.

Cons: Bundled ear-phones could have been better?? The bundle DOES contain a ear-phone set! Get real guys. Moderate!
