Hands-on impression
Scoring full marks in every category, Creative's Zen Vision:M is the music player to have - unless, of course, one depends on iTunes. Superb audio quality joins a clear, crisp and bright 2.5-inch screen which not only makes light work of navigating but also video playback, even when scaled on-the-fly from resolutions larger than what its screen supports. Complete with high quality TV output for video, 30 GB of storage and support for a flurry of formats including WMA DRM, it's worth every cent of its $350 USD asking price.
