Fine.

how's everyone doing?

So, no players seem to be coming out of IFA or COMEX. But, Creative does have weird release patterns, so we might see something before the year ends...who knows. Next year, something will come for sure...most likely a Style refresh...

I never thought about these, but sumwon is actually right....
the only way it could be intresting is if the zii egg gets a low price tag
so people will think twice before buying an Ipod....
like they are doing right now basicly...

SumWon
@Brandonson: sure, the new iPod eats up a lot of the (formerly) unique features of the Zii EGG, but Creative is still hanging in there with these: GPS, HD output, SD card and broad codec support. That is, if they were actually selling them (or planning to)...

Versatile and functional, with the luxurious feel of pebbled leather. Simple and elegant design make the bags more attractive. In our Coach Outlet Store, there you can purchase the very cheap coach bags. We have a great deal of New fake coach handbags and they are all coach knockoffs . To be honest, it is worthwhile to buy these discounted coach handbags sale. If you are planing to buy a bags, don’t hesitate, coach bag outlet are your first choice.

1.54" screen....what a waste of a touch screen!

they've just bastardised the ipod nano. its laughable now. I know touchscreen is the rage nowadays but its on a smaller screen. there's unnecessary wait to change to other screens and you lose out on video and a bigger screen. I dont know how anyone can see that as an upgrade. the clickwheel was one of things that made the ipod navigation great. look it now :S its all about the ipod touch now. its practically saying. if you haven't got an ipad, iphone, they are pretty much saying their multimedia mp3 player is the touch and if you want it all go here and spend on our app store :S lame

EnglishGuy
It does.

I wish Creative would show something with the Zii.

After that was announced the website started losing posters =(

  Creative makes a PoPz speaker for the Zen Stone


One of Creative's more quirkier products was their PoPz speakers. These speakers were built into a mesh lining that zipped up for complete portability. Although they probably didn't sound that great, I've always wanted to have one. Unfortunately they never made it to N. America, and the same can be said for the newest PoPz speaker.

As you can see, this one is made specifically for the Zen Stone/Plus, which nestles nicely inside the casing. The speakers are powered solely by your MP3 player, which sounds good at first until you realize the Zen Stone's rated battery life is not so good. The PoPz P20 is being sold as a "Limited Edition" of just 50 at Creative's Singapore store. It costs 20 Singapore dollars or about $14US. I'm not sure why Creative would just sell 50 of them, but if you're in the Singapore area, please feel free to get me one.

Features:

  • A handy travel speaker with a mini built-in MP3 player compartment
  • Shock absorbent and scratch-resistant
  • Metal carabiner for fastening the speaker to your bag
  • 36mm inverted dome drive
  • 3.5mm L-shape stereo cable dressed within the pouch compartment
  • No batteries or adapters required. PoPz P20 is powered by your MP3 player

i was considering buying the original popz, but i really dont tbink they'd get anywhere near loud enough on 50mW (ZVM output)

Another weird product by Creative.. I keep on thinking to myself, What is the point of all these??

50.. It's like a collector's item..

- Mono Speaker Output
- Battery Usage
- Makes the Zen Stone With Speakers a bit depressed

+ Portable
+ Cheap, as its a Creative product and it might sound good.
+ Looks cool !
+ All the mentioned points from Creative.

...i own the popz!...
...awesome for sharing music with people...
...they arent that loud because of the lack of power...
...but it beats carrying batteries everywhere...
...plus they are really coooooollll...

Why do they make like 3 docks for 1 or 2 creative players and none for their other ones...

Why waste the money to only make 50 of them?

keybowvio
Mar 22 (2008) 12:49PM
maybe they have 50 left over from before... lol

When writing this up, I was thinking that the 50 just referred to the deal of 20 Singapore dollars. I just can't imagine them making 50 of these ever. I figure once they sell out of those 50 at that price, they'll sell it for a little bit more

Varuna
Mar 22 (2008) 03:29PM
Yeah... thats what I thought it meant !

They can't just stop making..

But it does have it's downside like Mono Output and battery Usage of the player .

Scubit
Mar 22 (2008) 03:54PM
Actually, it could work with any player, it just wouldn't be able to fit in the little slot unless it was the stone...

Griff

That's rather cool. Shame they couldn't make it fold out into three pieces so you'd have two speakers...

ltTHREE
Mar 23 (2008) 02:07PM
maybe they're clearing their inventory of materials

I'd agree with LT3. It was probably a product that never materialized and they're just dumping what the have.

I love the idea and I think that Creative should make more products like this...and selling only 50 is a bad idea...I'm sure there are many more that are interested in something like this

I am kind of interested in this product. Have been looking for something similar for a while but don't know how loud these speakers go. May try and squeeze out some time to go check them out if they are still available in the shop.

selling 50...
quite weird
probably just a test product
or maybe to make a design patent
