Creative Labs Zen Vision 30GB Reviewed
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 11:00 AM
"Creative Labs second iteration of their portable media player, the Zen Vision, follows in the footsteps of their Zen Portable Media Center, which failed miserably when it was introduced. Forget everything you know about the Zen Portable Media Center though, because the Zen Vision is a completely different product – one that you might actually want. First of all, the Zen Vision ditches Microsoft's Portable Media Center operating system, instead opting for a custom, in-house solution. With a 30GB hard drive and a 3.7" color screen, the Zen Vision should have a lot to offer, read on to see if it delivers."
Wait, a PMP that I might actually want? I did a double take when I read that, but closer inspection shows that they have abandoned Microsoft's PMC and went with their own OS. Still with a lack of content even a better OS won't make up for the hassle of getting shows on a PMP.
One has to wonder which is a bigger disappointment for Microsoft, Portable Media Center, Tablet PC or Bob?
