Jul 24 (2008) 01:12AM | it's "Mozaic", not Mosaic. Creative's being creative with its player naming as usual. Lol |
| Kaze
Jul 24 (2008) 01:13AM | They should have just stuck with the V series, although this wouldn't look bad if they made it one solid color. |

Jul 24 (2008) 01:16AM  | Actually, this player looks promising to me. |

Jul 24 (2008) 01:17AM  | Creative should have continued their original Zen V designs...the glossy black plastic...not with the joystick of course. Iuno I think it's just me...but I don't really like players that resemble phones. |
| Musik
Jul 24 (2008) 01:18AM | ahaha.. since this is a successor for V Plus, at least the increased the screensize from 1.5" to 1.8". But as you can see the size is slightly longer with that. Hmm.. The more I look at it, the more I think it is like one of those Sony candybar phones. Lol. |
| Bosconias
Jul 24 (2008) 01:21AM | It reminds me a lot of the Sony Walkmens, I think they are? But it also remind me of the WAV. I would probably buy the Mozaic in the somewhat near future. |
| ssjmichael
Jul 24 (2008) 01:28AM | Those are the two players they reminded me of too Bosco. It also kinda reminded me of the Sansa e200 series as well. The design is growing on me. It looks pretty cool from the side angle. |
| Bosconias
Jul 24 (2008) 01:37AM | Oh yeah, it does remind me of the e200 series. I like the fact that it has a little slot for keyrings like the V series did. Those come in handy, sometimes. |

Jul 24 (2008) 01:41AM | Very bizarre looking. I do like how the screen can adjust from portrait to landscapre mode. |
| Musik
Jul 24 (2008) 01:47AM | Our dear friend kingone has just bought the player.. Check out his first look at the playerhere. EDIT: I thought he bought it. Lol. You must be a frequent customer that they didn't stop you for taking photos of it? [ edited Jul 24 (2008) 01:51AM ] |
| TearsOfFire
Jul 24 (2008) 01:56AM | When I first saw it.. I thought it was a phone with some kind of funky design.. But the more I think about it, it does look kinda cool. Looks like a cross between a WAV and a ZEN. |

Jul 24 (2008) 03:25AM  | What res is the screen? From pics it looks like 176x220 not 240x320. Damo EDIT: Checked - The screen is terrible - Creative website says "1.8" 64K Color TFT Display, 128 x 160 pixels resolution" It should at least be 320x240. If Sony can do a 1.8" 320x240 screen, why can't creative. [ edited Jul 24 (2008) 03:28AM ] |

Jul 24 (2008) 03:59AM  | i like the look of the black-ish one in the middle, but the screen in too small. |
| moorey
Jul 24 (2008) 04:22AM  | I agree with damo. In the photos i thought the text looked a little blocky - no wonder why. That wouldnt put me off buying it though. Its clearly not designed for photos or videos. |
| basskaryaar
Jul 24 (2008) 07:08AM | ^Yep quite normal, they probably don't want to overlap the zen. Btw the Black one looks quite ok... |
| NoInformation
Jul 24 (2008) 07:41AM  | I swear that Creative is TRYING to spread themselves too thin! Every week brings a new, mediocre player. They should discontinue half of the lines and focus on a great player that will actually make a difference in the market. As creative continues to do this, they will continue to lose their market share. |
| davinp
Jul 24 (2008) 07:59AM  | Wow, is Creative going to have built-in speakes on all new players? They forgot to put games on the player |
| Dopamino
Jul 24 (2008) 08:05AM  | OMG that's ugly! |
| DapFinder
Jul 24 (2008) 09:08AM | I give up. Creative simply doesn't want to compete. Every player they release is, as "noinfo" says mediocre. How can a company continue to do this? It's like Sandisk never updating their UI on their players. Are they insane? |

Jul 24 (2008) 09:51AM  | I think we need to update the right pane of our site soon @_@ |
| supermonkey
Jul 24 (2008) 10:04AM  | They look a lot better in the pics on kingones site |
| ssjmichael
Jul 24 (2008) 10:31AM | I'll update it soon SDash. I'm not really in charge of web layout here and advertising (Austin is), but I do have access to it and I will update it soon. |

Jul 24 (2008) 12:58PM | It will be released in Europe. Prices in France (ten euros cheaper in Germany): 2GB - 70€ 4GB - 90€ 8GB - 110€ 16GB - 160€ (after the summer) And a lot of high res photos Link Is a very ugly player IMHO, but is very well priced and has a very good battery life, a real AUDIO player (if it sounds good enough). Maybe in real life it looks better and perhaps this buttons are comfortable. |

Jul 24 (2008) 12:58PM | This player doesn't look that bad TBH. Just take a look at it on kingone's blog...I wouldn't mind buying it actually. Tho I still miss Creative's old ZVP style...not the joystick of course! |
| HipHopScribe
Jul 24 (2008) 01:13PM  | I like how it looks personally, but in terms of specs it's nothing special |
| elysia05
Jul 24 (2008) 02:40PM  | when i first saw it i thought they made a cellphone. I don't like the design but i guess people that want something fancy would buy that, and the specs aren't that good, exception of battery life. I'm seriously missing my ZVM, when would creative listen. |
| keybowvio
Jul 24 (2008) 03:25PM | Honestly, I think it looks quite nice. Also, Creative didn't really expand their product line, to me I think they refreshed/simplified it. Compared to Apple: they have a shuffle-ish player (Krystal), a nano-ish player (mozaic), and a Classic-ish player (Zen Xfi). Doesn't seem to complex to me. *shrugs* |
| ltTHREE
Jul 24 (2008) 04:50PM  | I think the look is nice. Unique, in a sense. A bigger screen, speakers, and probably battery life (?) are great improvements over the Zen V. Hell, I might get one of these in the future. but in terms of Creative's overall new line-up, I think they're still missing a top-of-the-line player.. |
| kickenchicken
Jul 24 (2008) 06:48PM  | Is this Creative's Attempt at being Stylish?  .. Wow. |
| mrfajita
Jul 24 (2008) 09:52PM  | weird actually i like the look but damn it creative we need a iPod Touch COMPETITOR!!!!! and a high cap player... |
| titaniumsx2
Jul 25 (2008) 05:54AM | i would like to see how the album art is displayed, since its now portrait rather than landscape. whether it would fill up more of the screen or will it be at the corner as usual. |

Jul 25 (2008) 07:49PM  | sweeeeeeeeeeet! |
| Varuna
Jul 29 (2008) 05:07PM  | This is NO Way better than the Zen V Series Cons over the Zen V : - Same specs - Bigger - Same Resolutions - Less Audio Formats -No Volume Controler ! Gosh ! The only reason I see to get this player is : - Battery Life ! - Speaker ? - A Bigger and more sweet Navigation well, in its own way its ok When i first saw it: ITS UGLy. Now, its just OKAY.. Not appealing at all I'm dissapointed !  They could have done much better !! [ edited Jul 29 (2008) 05:50PM ] |

Jul 30 (2008) 11:15PM  | this dap is pretty pointless. all for looks |
| Rach-El
Aug 01 (2008) 01:01PM  | It seems like they thought of the name before they designed the player. "Hey since we're calling it mozaic, lets put a bunch of pointless crap on it!" "That's a great idea!" so pissed.  |
| mrfajita
Aug 03 (2008) 03:24PM | ZEN Mozaic is on US creative site in stock, for all of you who are so excited about buying this  [Linky] why hasn't creative done anything right since the Vision series??? |
