TrustedReviews Looks at the Zen Vision:M
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"You’ve got to hand it to Creative. Or at least feel sorry for it. No sooner had it helped create the portable digital media player market with its Zen Jukebox, when Apple swept in relatively late in the game to sweep up all the plaudits with its iPod, the latest version of which I’ll be looking at tomorrow. To add insult to injury, it turns out that Creative even owns the patent on the interface that Apple used to such good effect - only Apple slapped a nifty wheel on the front of its device and the rest, as they say, is history. The sales figures speak for themselves. In the last quater of the year alone Apple sold over ten million iPods and according to some figures has a 65 per cent share on the hard drive based market. Creative, on the other hand, has around 2-4 per cent of the market...The Zen Vision: M though, is the best media player that Creative has yet released, so for the sake of keeping things interesting the market should be glad it hasn’t thrown in the towel yet."
Another mostly positive review of the Zen Vision:M player: TrustedReviews gives it a 9 out of 10, although given the number of complaints the reviewer had I'm a little surprised it rated so highly. This is certainly looking like the player to get if you're not an iPod person.
