Creative’s latest PMP has been spotted by multiple sources, including a detail-scant FCC test report [pdf link] and a few leaked photos. The upcoming media player, called the ZEN X-Fi, is said to include WiFi, instant messaging, a built-in FM radio and speaker, and Creative’s sound-fettling X-Fi technology. Storage is either 8, 16 or 32GB, plus there’s an SD [...]
If Creative thought they could smack down budget camcorder rival Flip with their recent Vado and get away with it, it’s time for a reality check. An eagle-eyed browser has spotted Flip’s latest model, the Mino, in B&H’s print catalog, and it’s likely to be the company’s retort to the Vado’s “dramatically thinner and lighter” [...]
It’s no XACTI botherer, but Creative’s new Vado video camera will likely cause the Flip Video some headaches. Intended to storm the budget camcorder market, especially targeting those users who aren’t interested in manual settings and high-definition, the Vado comes with 2GB of onboard storage (good for 2hrs of footage), a 2hr battery and 640 [...]
Creative has taken time out from licking its class-action wounds to stuff a few more gigabytes into their Shuffle-rival, the MuVo T200. The PMP, which previously had only been available with 2GB, will now come in a 4GB version. Unlike Apple’s entry-level MP3 player, the T200 has a compact 128 x 32 pixels [...]
Creative have lost the class-action suit brought against them regarding the quoted capacity of their PMPs. As such, the company will be forced to offer discounts on future hardware purchases to those who bought a hard-drive based MP3 player before Creative made clear in their documentation exactly what storage was available. On offer to claimants [...]
It’s hard to imagine that there could still be people out there who believe hard-drives will have as much space on them as manufacturers’ spec-sheets boast, but that very issue looks to have turned around and bit Creative on the behind. A class-action suit was filed against the company regarding the quoted capacity of their [...]
Creative have quietly revealed new color options for their ZEN iPod-rival. Set to be released in eye-catching pink and red versions, the PMP is otherwise identical to existing ZEN models. That means you get the same 2.5-inch, 320 x 240, 16m color TFT display, choice of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB flash storage and SD/SDHC expansion [...]
This external hard drive is directed at creative professionals and video editors who need a lot of fast storage space so they can do their work. This drive can certainly provide it and won’t be slowed by the interface by which it connects to your computer either since it has four of them.
Asus is well-known for a lot of things, their soundcards not among them, but that might be about to change. They just recently started manufacturing these little buggers, and I don’t know personally how they sound, but specs wise they seem fairly on par with most of Creative’s offerings.
Creative has released a total of 4 new Webcams all of which are Plug n Play capable, have integrated microphones, and as far as webcams go, look pretty attractive. The most interesting is the Creative Live! Cam Notebook Ultra which claims the ability to take up to 5MP still images.
