Creative Zen Mozaic PMP

 

The Zen Mozaic is a darn good audio player, although the video is sort of redundant.

Creative Zen

 

Like MP3 players, PMPs (that is, Portable Media Players) are getting smaller and smaller. Take the Creative Zen for instance. Yes, it's simply called the Creative Zen and looks like a compressed and flattened version of the Vision:W. Considering that...

The Bottomline I like everything about the Zen except the earphones, a few minor issues with navigation, and the problem with reading video file formats. The battery is great, the fact that you can extend the memory is a plus, and the extra features...

Creative Zen V Plus

 

I have been an iPod user for the past two years, and I firmly believe that Creative Mp3 players are the next in line to take over the portable players' market. But they always manage to leave a few things amiss here and there. Let's check it out.

Creative Zen V Plus 1GB

 

We've seen Lilliputian MP3 players before, but Creative has taken the concept a step further with the Zen V Plus: This change-purse-size device boasts a vivid 1.5-inch OLED screen for viewing photos and videos.

Photos looks pretty good on the OLED, but video frame rates are slow and jerky; we definitely wouldn’t want to watch a movie on such a tiny screen. Audio quality was inferior to that of fullsize players, but not bad. And Creative’s Zen Media Explorer...

Creative Zen X-Fi

 

Creative's previous Zen had the potential to be a great PMP, considering its slim design, large clear display and the button placement for navigation, but it fared quite averagely. Their next-l

The Creative Zen X-Fi Style

 

Creative has always been one of the leaders in portable media players. However, Apple has clearly been a step ahead with their never-ending supply of iPods. But then again, you also have to take into

Creative does not disappoint with this handy little player. Sure, all you iPod fans can complain saying it doesn't look half as good, and is too flimsy. But when it comes to value for money, this little baby is a really good deal. The prices for the...

Creative ZEN Style M300 MP3 Player

 

Entry level MP3 players are facing a slow death and may very soon cease to exist. This is due to the fact that almost all mobiles phones nowadays support music playback and even have expandable memory

The 4GB version of the ZEN Style M300 is available for Rs.3,499, which is decent for a Bluetooth capable MP3 player. The 8GB version goes for Rs.4,999. But, it brings me to my earlier question, is it a worthy investment? Not quite. After buying it,...

Creative Zen Mozaic (2GB)

 

A built-in speaker makes this cute little MP3 player a decent choice for kids and tweens.

Good sound ; Very affordable ; Built-in speaker

Button layout confusing ; Scratch-prone screen ; No dedicated volume buttons ; Doesn't work with Macs

The pocket-friendly Creative Zen Mozaic player is not the most attractive or intuitive player, but it is affordable, and the integrated speaker is a fun way to share music. It's worth consideration by younger listeners or Windows users looking for a...

Zen Mozaic 2GB

 

With its checkered, multihued design, Creative Zen's Mozaic looks pretty slick. Regrettably, this flash-based media player (which is available in black, gray, or pink) is stronger on style than on substance. I found its buttons unintuitive and its...

Includes external speakers Offers a nice array of features

Buttons are small Video playback can be awkward

Overall, the Mozaic is a solid offering at a good price, but you may have to do some fiddling to get its features to operate smoothly

Creative ZEN Mozaic

 

The Creative ZEN Mozaic is the latest example of Creative's long-standing tradition of developing good-looking budget portable media players. The Mozaic comes in 2GB ($59.99 direct), 4GB ($79.99), and 8GB ($119.99) capacities, and its control pad, as...

Very affordable. Good-looking, interesting design. FM radio with 32 presets. Voice recorder.

Unintuitive, clunky user interface. Included earbuds are subpar.

The Creative ZEN Mozaic has plenty of features for its price, but don't expect the cool design of the player to extend to its user interface.
