C reative is a worldwide manufacturer of digital entertainment products. Creative was founded in Singapore in 1981 with the underlying thought of multimedia starting a revolution in the way people handle their PCs. One of Creative's mobile multimedia players is the ZEN. The Creative ZEN is a multimedia player offering many possibilities and it has the size of a credit card.

Creative ZEN

The Creative ZEN model tested by LetsGoMobile has an internal memory of 4GB but it is also available in a 2GB, 8GB and 16GB version. The front of the Creative ZEN multimedia player has a shiny black color and the back is carried out in matte black. The 2.5 inch LCD colour monitor is rather small to watch videos but it certainly has an excellent quality. The dimensions of the ZEN multimedia player are 55 x 83 x 12 mm. You can enhance the internal memory through an SD or SDHC memory card. The battery of the Creative ZEN takes four hours to fully recharge through a USB connection on the pc. A battery lasts for 25 hours of audio or five hours of video playback per charge. The Creative ZEN player is standard delivered with a one year manufacturer's warranty.

 

 

Creative ZEN Test

The Creative ZEN 4GB digital multimedia player is available for a price that varies from 95 Euros to 130 Euros. The credit card sized multimedia player has a neat up-to-date design. It delivers high quality sound that is adjustable to one's personal preferences. The 2.5 inch colour LCD monitor reproduces very clear high quality videos and pictures. Transferring files from the computer to the Creative ZEN is fast through the included USB cable that serves as a battery charger at the same time. That brings us to a disadvantage of this media player; you always need a computer for recharging the player. Read the full Creative ZEN music player review.
