this new product launch banking on their X-fi technology, Creative could spark a renaissance on their brand just like what the ipod has done with Apple. and this model with its slew of features is clearly targeting the ipod-nano...take note that the 32GB is the most tempting which is only $70 more than the 16GB version

Apple better buy X-Fi tech off Creative, this is no jokes.
I like design and the included good quality headphones

Looks great! I was just about to get the new Sony NWZ-808. Owned a few iPods and their audio quality = crap.

Got a few questions if anyone can answer:

-I dont see any markings on the keys. Do they work like they do on a mobile phone for text input? If so, will the x-fi have "t3" ? (predictive text).

-Pic 6, next to the sd card slot: Is that a microphone or a lanyard slot?

-Pic 7, Whats that aboove the microphone slot?

& lastly, when exactly will this hit the streets?

Hi Munk, i already bought this jewel on thursday, on the launch day itself at marina creative store. When i call the customer service on thursday, they say the player is only available at marina and plaza singapura and not at the HQ yet but not sure about now.

Pic 6 - the big slot is for sd card, the small one is the speaker and the small little hole is the mic

pic 7 - that is actually the LED light, headphone jack, the usb and lastly the reset button as indicated

they dont have T3 (predictive text). the nine buttons works more like a navigator like if u wanna scroll up, then press the top row centre button and if u wanna scroll down use the bottom row centre button and the so called number 4 and 6 button are for previous and next, like when u are viewing some pictures.

from my own review, the speaker is loud enough and good enough to even beat those handphones speakers and i even tested with some Nokia's and SE handphones and frankly this jewel is louder and more crisps. There's even a little bass (lows) audible and the highs especially the cymbals crashing is so clear especially when the X-Fi crystal is on. Sounds extremely great if u use the provided earbud ear phone or if u want to hear the best, use a high end professional headphones

My rating 4 out 5
Highly Recommended and its cheap for the 32GB (S$399)

Thnx for sharing your thoughts Azli. Caught this vid on youtube: www.youtube.com... - The speakers do sound good (cosidering the size) & if they can produce any sort of bass, thats even more impressive. The X-Fi crystaliser also seems to wrok really well and having been using creative soundcards for ages I know how difficult it is to go back to the "normal" sound.

The price for the 32gb is very competetive & would definately sway people like over something like , say a Sony NWZ. (Although the new NWZ's offer a noise cancellation/ a2dp option as well).

Where has the LYRICS DISPLAY gone to? Good product though. May be a bigger screen will be better? Prefect with noise-cancalling earphone. First time ever bundled with a player. Will a 64GB or bigger flash based player be available in the next 3 years?
