Sep 26 (2007) 04:39AM | I have a feeling this player will just be like the Zen Wav.. |

Sep 26 (2007) 04:42AM  | What do you mean by that freakyboi? In terms of availability? feedback? |

Sep 26 (2007) 04:50AM  | OMG why would creative release something that looks so similar to first gen shuffle they already got the stone out as you pointed out. IMO creative just loses rep for getting a designer similar to the shuffle and we wonder why they don't have a huge market share. |

Sep 26 (2007) 05:52AM  | Let me be one of the first to say: THIS, instead of a ZVM replacement?????! Pfffffft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

Sep 26 (2007) 06:56AM  | Why are they doing this? Who comes up with their ideas? |

Sep 26 (2007) 08:40AM | do you guys know why NOKIA is the biggest hand phone manufacture in the world? Because they introduced new models every month, even some models may not selling well, but together they get a lot of money. I think this is creative trying to simulate! Even this MP3 model may cover the same market range as Stone, there is no doubt that more and more people will buy CREATIVE's product!!! |

Sep 26 (2007) 08:51AM | Hi, michael, why you say "Creative will be selling these exclusively in Singapore." in your thread??? Cnet Asia says it "Expect to see it in stores at the end of October worldwide. " check cnet link you give in your thread (the last sentence)!!! [Linky] [ edited Sep 26 (2007) 09:09AM ] |

Sep 26 (2007) 09:52AM  | To be very honest, I dont think thats a great release and a very good product.. Especially coz it looks like an outdated Apple product!!! I dont understand, what the R&D people at creative are doing are they doing research to improve???Well i dont think so. Coz a company who had made a great product like ZVM, stops making them and now is interested in making stuff that is outdated a year or two ago??? I dont understand. No body need to make anything for this product.. They have the tech and they just have to make a case for it and ship!!!! Do they call this an improvement, Sorry i dont think so.. Whats the difference betweem Stone and this!!! Nothin only that this guy can store upto 4Gigs.. Ya right.. Imagine choosing a song Blindfolded in a stack containing 4GB of songs!!! Great. |

Sep 26 (2007) 10:59AM  | So much I could say about this but will refrain ... LOL  Why not just keep with the Stone form factor? Now that's a winner ... Also, 2 and 4gb without a screen is a pretty scary thought. |

Sep 26 (2007) 12:54PM  | This is definitely a strange move on Creative's part. I don't pretend to understand what they are doing here. I didn't like it years ago when it was the shuffle and I don't like it now. |
| SlimDan22
Sep 26 (2007) 03:14PM  | Wow instead of making new players they should focus on marketing there current players |
| ssjmichael
Sep 26 (2007) 03:15PM | XIAO YONG, because Creative says it in their Press Releasee. Look at the release: [Linky] Pricing and Availability Creative MuVo T100 will be available exclusively at The CREATIVE Stores at Marina Square, Plaza Singapura and International Business Park and the online store at sg.store.creative.com in Singapore at the end of October 2007 at the suggested retail prices of S$89.00 and S$149.00 for the 2GB and 4GB models respectively. I'm sure Creative will bring it to other regions soon enough, but who would you quote when writing this up, a news source covering a company, or the company themselves?

Sep 26 (2007) 03:47PM  | Wow, dumb. "Let's make something that looks like an old iPod Shuffle! Ya, that will work!" Give me a break guys. How "Creative" of Creative to come up with a knock-off of an old player. At least make it look like the new shuffles... |

Sep 26 (2007) 04:03PM  | I wish creative was more like Cowon and less like Apple. |
| ssjmichael
Sep 26 (2007) 04:08PM | I'm not sure you'd want that maximus. Cowon's players are way too expensve, and from the ones I've used have an inferior interface. The codec support and features are nice though. Like Creative, they take forever to release players. I think iriver, and Samsung have the best potential right now. Great looking players, nice interfaces, and good pricing. They just need to beef up their codec support. |
| mdscriber3
Sep 26 (2007) 04:11PM | Actually, Samsung might even be a better bet. iriver just takes too darn long to make product available. Samsung really makes great daps  I loved my Z5 when I had it. |

Sep 26 (2007) 06:25PM  | If you consider the T100 primarily as a flash drive, that also has the capability to double as a music player then it becomes a much more likable device. Thumb drives have a lot of usefulness.. but they are single purpose oriented.. add the ability to play back music with one and you then have something much more interesting which serves double duty. Add a few portable apps.. say portable Firefox, mail program etc.. and now you have a triple purpose device.... storage, always having your personal settings with you for those times when you use some other PC.. and a music player.. what's not to like in that scenario?

Sep 26 (2007) 08:06PM  | why, creative, why? it's as if they've taken the zen stone, and turned it into the zen stick (in the mud.) |
| kickenchicken
Sep 26 (2007) 09:13PM  | i dont wish Creative was more like Cowon, i wouldnt want a player thats about as ugly as a pimple. ... though, they should borrow some of there features + Apples marketing Strategies + (well looks arent too bad)... When will they learn that flooding the market wont work with so many dam mp3 players.. gah creative.. gah lol. |
| ashxcore
Sep 26 (2007) 10:48PM  | Ugh. What is the purpose? Who are they competing with? Sandisk? |

Sep 27 (2007) 01:13AM  | I think Utew has a great point. Hell, its 4gb, you could put Grand Theft Auto San Andreas or WoW on them in an ISO and play it on any computer!!! Looking at it as a triple duty device is definitely good. Instead of a normal dap which serves good audio and possibly crippled video, this serves 3 purposes quite well. |
| ssjmichael
Sep 27 (2007) 02:34AM | I was almost positive that Utew's post was sarcastic, lol. Anyway, I really don't know if that's what Creative had in mind when making a 4GB screenless dap. I mean flash drives are incredibly cheap nowadays. Maybe it's just the time of the night, but I want to endorse this positive view of the T100. I wonder if it's Readyboost capable, if so we have one more purpose we can add [ edited Sep 27 (2007) 02:37AM ] |
| Utew
Sep 27 (2007) 02:39AM | No sarcasm intended... although I do belong to the Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) School of Sarcasm...  I think the T100.. would be a great school device.. for carrying back and forth school homework.. along with the other benefits I listed.. [ edited Sep 27 (2007) 02:39AM ] |
| Cody B.
Sep 27 (2007) 02:53AM | I looove house! He is such a sarcastic prig lol But anyways its definitely a very multi purpose DAP, despite no screen. |
| Waspinators
Sep 27 (2007) 02:39PM  | I would've liked it more if it didn't remind me of those cheap iPod knockoffs they sell at random kiosks. |
| fvshaggy
Sep 27 (2007) 07:19PM | I am not proud of this release. Hopefully this is a joke  |
| ramakandra
Sep 28 (2007) 06:44PM  | ...plenty of people have flash drives that just sit there... ...one that plays music is awesome... ...especially if your in class... |
| redled
Sep 29 (2007) 06:22AM | This could be an attempt by Creative to establish an unconscious association in the minds of the public to Creative and the ipod. This is Creative's silly putty pressed firmly against the publics postive image of all things ipod. |
| rich01
Sep 29 (2007) 01:19PM | i wonder whats the purpouse of the MuVo T100...It looks too much like the first gen shuffle...Maybe they want to make something like the Sansa Express? And like the Zen Stone, a screen may be coming [ edited Sep 29 (2007) 01:27PM ] |
| terryshaw09
Oct 08 (2007) 06:15PM | it's a cop out of the ipod shuffle anyway, i dont like it when companies use same ideas as others |
