Creative Zen (16GB) review

By (cnet.com)

The Creative Zen sounds fantastic and features a brilliant color screen capable of displaying photos and video. The player offers a smorgasbord of desirable extras such as an SD card expansion slot, an FM radio, a voice recorder, and a user-definable ...

The Creative Zen only comes in black, the control pad feels cheap, and it doesn't come close to matching the max 60GB offered by the player it's replacing

Editors' note: The body of this review has been updated to reflect added memory options and significant price drops.

Creative Zen Flash-Based MP3 Player

By Darren Gladstone (pcworld.com)

Gadget lover's player may lack Wi-Fi, but it has lots of other features, supports a wide array of formats, and accepts SD Cards.

Feature-heavy, SD Card slot for instant memory upgrades

The Creative Zen may not offer the cachet of the Apple iPod Touch, the gee...

"Bookmarks=Serious Bug, Very Poor Support!!!"

By farfinator (cnet.com)

Go to the store and stay away from the online... 

Really liked the buttons over competitors pads. Got an absolute action with every touch, not the floudering of the "touchy" fingerpads

Bookmarks for audiobooks have a serious bug which affects the bookmarking. Creative aware, but send out these flawed units anyway
