Thread: Creative Zen V and Zen player

Creative has joined the recent swathe of mid-capacity flash players with the release of the Zen V and V+. One of the few MP3 player manufacturers that has remained at the forefront of digital audio players from the beginning, we're holding high hopes that the new V series won't disappoint.



The player has a glossy black surface and one of three assorted colour trims. Rather than just offering these as a straight choice of colour preference, the colour-coding is actually related to the capacity. Those with orange trim are 1GB, green are 2GB and blue 4GB, and all the players offer otherwise identical features so customers have a straightforward choice.

At first glance the bright primary colours alongside the glossy black surface make the player look a little basic, but this shouldn't put you off. You'll be impressed by the excellent quality of the colour screen and there's absolutely nothing basic about the functionality.
