In conclusion, the Creative Zen Vision:M is another excellent addition to the handheld media player market, but it still isn't the best out there.

 :: LAPTOP Magazine • Creative Zen Vision:M ::   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
As with previous Zen players, the touch bar is prone to misreading strokes as click commands so that you sometimes feel as if you are wrestling with rather than sliding through the operating system.
The Zen line continues to impress on the audio side, with exceptionally crisp and clean sound on MP3 and WMA files.
Creative has opened up a new media portal that includes a good selection of audio and video podcasts, but it can’t touch iTunes’ simplicity and vast A/V library.

 Windows A to Z!- Creative Zen Micro Photo Review
It's been quite awhile since Creative announced that they would come out with a color Zen Micro handheld, but now the wait is over.
Creative includes its MediaSource software to help manage the songs and photos on your Zen Photo, but it's pretty strange and clunky.
What's better is the included Zen Photo Micro Media Explorer, which is a Windows Explorer-like window that allows you to add or remove files from your Zen Photo via drag and drop.

 Creative Zen NX - Computing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Creative has to pull something spectacular out of the bag if it wants to catch up with the Apple Ipod in terms of sales but, at first glance, the Zen NX isn't it.
The Zen is also awkward to use - the small screen makes it difficult to read the name of the track currently playing, and there couldn't be a greater contrast between the user-friendly touch-sensitive wheel of the Ipod and the Zen NX's small, clunky control buttons.
Creative impresses with its PC syncing software - it's easy to transfer music from the PC to the Zen, especially compared to the Musicmatch package sold with the Ipod.

 The Creative Zen of Digital Media Players | DenGuru
Creative originally entered the MP3 space before Apple, but it was the iPod that really exploded the multimedia market and brought it into the mainstream.
The Zen Vision:M represents Creative's latest attempt to take on the iPod, and was specifically designed to serve as an alternative to the latest generation of video iPods.
Unlike the iPod, which comes in both 60 GB and 30 GB variants, the Zen Vision:M only comes in a 30 GB flavor, but that shouldn't be a deal breaker for most people.
