[ image disabled ] Many of us are hoping to see a new player from Creative as this years CeBIT convention or at the IT Show in Singapore. Aside from CES these would be the best places for Creative to unveil something new. I was browsing through Creative's flyer for the IT show and unfortunately I didn't see anything new. What I did find interesting was Creative's Xmod connected to a mobile phone. I looked closer and it seemed like it was Creative's interface on the screen and the controls looked similar to those found on the Zen Vision and Vision W.

Ever since Apple announced their upcoming iPhone some have speculated on whether Creative will follow suit and release a phone of their own. Although I doubt this is an upcoming phone from Creative, I want to know what everyone else thinks. My guess is this is just a phone that already exists, or it's just a generic "cellphone" mockup made for the Xmod ad. I'd personally be surprised if Creative ventured into the mobile phone business. Apple can take big risks in that tightly packed industry, but I'm not sure if Creative can.
