    Editorial Reviews: The incredibly small Zen from Creative is a hotbed of multimedia technology. The Zen is as small as a credit card and measures just 12 mm thick, so you can slip it easily into your pocket or handbag. This multimedia player lets you take your favourite music, films, TV programmes and digital photos with you wherever you go. Transferring and downloading files to and from your computer is incredibly easy, thanks to the Zens USB connection.The Zen also has an SD/SDHC memory card slot for storing additional music and videos. The Zen even has a built-in FM tuner and voice recording function, making it the ultimate portable multimedia device.

    Summary: don't waste your money, cheap and nasty
    Comment: This product has a big problem. I bought the 4gig one and an 8 gig mem card. You cannot copy any files to the memory card via the sofware, if you can, I cannot find how to do it. Feels very cheap and plasticky, screen dull, sound poor. Not worth the £43 I paid. I packaged it up and sent it back.

    Summary: Great player and better value than the ipod touch
    Comment: I'm going to compare this player to the ipod touch which is what I had considered buying until I saw the price tag and compared the two models.

    This player is great overall. I initially bought it just as an mp3 player but after seeing how amazing the screen quality was, I've been using it to watch movies during my lunch breaks at work. The quality of the screen beats most mp3 players hands down even if it may be smaller than some that are out there; and this includes the ipod touch as the zen's screen has a better colour display (zen 16.7 million colours vs ipod touch's 64 thousand colours). Keep in mind that though the screen is smaller than an ipod touch, the whole player is smaller and lighter, all the while still providing longer battery life. Additionally the player can handle many different video formats thanks to its video converter software so video formats out there that are made to watch on ipods can be converted and watched the zen instead.

    Other advantages over the ipod touch include:
    32gb model
    expandable memory with sd card
    voice recording
    on the go deleting
    bookmarking of tracks
    custom EQ
    volume equaliser
    volume limiter
    FM radio
    in line remote control available

    The player is indeed a finger smudge magnet and is easily damaged but this is easily solved with zagg's invisishield screen protector which I have used to protect the whole front of my device with (an amazing piece of kit for less than £10)! The sound quality seems slightly better on the 32gb model than the 16gb but that may just be because I had a problematic 16gb model that kept freezing when it was new which I ended up returning. The only downsides to the player I would say are that it doesn't have the capability to browse the internet like the ipod touch and this would have been a nice addition.

    Overall it is a fantastic player and despite one minor shortcoming, it is definitely worth purchasing over an ipod!

    Summary: Excellent, good value, multi-tasking media player
    Comment: I bought a 4GB Zen a couple of months ago having previously had a 512MB Zen Nano Plus (also good), and fancying more memory and some video capability. I have been nothing but pleased with this player.

    **Good Points**

    Ease of Use: Clear, easy to read, easy to navigate interface, eg click on Music-Artists-Ayumi Hamasaki-Guilty-My All in the traditional Artis-Album-Song method. The nicely designed icons and typeface make it a pleasure to look at.

    Visuals: Bright, clear 2.5-inch screen makes looking at video and pictures a wonderful experience.

    Controls: Simple, tactile buttons with a nice solid action make it easy to navigate, and because Creative have been thoughtful enough to make them the correct size for thumbs, you never have the problem of hitting two buttons at the same time.

    Sound: Excellent. Using the supplied 'phones is OK, but with my Sony MDR-EX35LP earbuds (bought in Japan, don't know if you can get them here), the sound quality is excellent, with deep bass and a good range. The graphic equaliser helps you to set it up just right.

    Bundled Software: Easy to use and without any major bugs, the supplied software is great. File transferral and CD ripping are easy, and the ZenCast Organizer downloads ZenCasts quickly and formats them to the correct size for the player.


    **Bad Points**

    Screen is slightly prone to finger marks, but wipe it with a cloth,or if you're obsessive buy a case.

    Summary: An excellent player, great value for the money, and with lots of features. Yeah, it freezes occasionally, but it's only about once a month and you can just poke the reset button and you're up and running again.

    Would recommend this to anyone.

    Summary: Great Quality, But Screen Commonly Scratches
    Comment: It is a good Mp4 and a great player, great video quality. My first one though was faulty but my 2nd one is perfect except the screen gets the odd scratch which is removable with the right stuff!

    Summary: amaZEN
    Comment: I have both Ipod and Zen, I give both 5 stars but the zen pips it on sound and build with a better video quality.
