Good news Zen fans! It looks like Creative is taking a page out of Apple's notebook and teasing the world with their own press event. They're supposedly sending the invitation shown below to various members of the press. The invitation has an X-Fi logo, and the words 'I am heard Everywhere". ![]() So who wants to take a guess at what Creative will be unveiling? I think they'll feature an assortment of products, all infused with their X-Fi technology. From new headphones, to iPod touch docking stations. Some other blogs have gotten caught up with a certain patent that Creative filed last year that shows a PMP akin to the Zen Vision. That's also a possibility, but I highly doubt it. Whatever it is, I'm really excited to see it. The event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17th, and we'll have full coverage for you, so stay tuned! via engadget Thanks Varuna

Sep 12 (2008) 10:51AM | I don't understand Creative, How hard is it to make a Zen Vision M update. Even though I own one I don't consider the Zen to be a fair replacement. All I want is a player with a nice screen that can play full divx files like the Zen Vision M or W. It can be flash, but it doesn't have to be. I don't need a web browser, or a touch screen, just a quality media player, that is not long in the tooth like my ZVM. |

Sep 12 (2008) 11:29AM | They need to hold a conference to promote their new products. Notice on Tuesday, everybody was focused on Apple. it makes big news when a new iPod comes out, but not when a new Creative Zen comes out. All the tech blogs write about the iPod all time and not much about the Zen |

Sep 12 (2008) 12:30PM | Sounds awesome, but like the last million creative products they fall short of anything in the front line of toys and end up being gimmicky mp3 players. i love my zen micro on the road and i used to love my Vision:M(until i the battery died after my warrenty expired and you wanted close to the same amount for a replacement than a refurb Vision:m), it was far superior PMP to any other product at the time especialy with divx support and drag and drop capability, however you gotta get with the getting creative. we need wi-fi support with built in browser support with FLASH and outlook type email along with the drag and drop support AND most important NO PROPRIETARY CABLES, USB-to-miniUSB(typeA) has been the best thing since sliced bread. stick with it. besides its not like you need a proprietary connector, none of you or your stupid Cambridge SoundWorks partners radios support just about any of your products (way to make ipod stronger by only supporting them) [ edited Sep 12 (2008) 12:32PM ] |

Sep 12 (2008) 01:34PM | If you look at the picture closely, it looks like a back of a player with the Zen Circles on it. The unit has the thickness of the ZVM/W, so it could be a HD player, not flash. So is this the new player we've been waiting for? |
| ssjmichael
Sep 12 (2008) 01:40PM ![]() | That would really be great. I don't want to get my hopes up which is why I pretty much downplayed it and said it's probably about some accessory or something. If it's a full fledged PMP I'd be surprised, but very happy. |

Sep 12 (2008) 02:07PM | Hard drive players, sadly, are dead. Ninety percent or more of music player buyers purchase flash-based players. Now that flash is dropping in price so quickly and 32GB and soon even 64GB versions of players will be out there's no reason to stick with a hard drive anymore. I'm really hoping for a nice PMP that can be the successor to the ZVM/ZVW but I'm not counting on Creative to bring that to market. I was ready a month ago to buy a new player to replace my ZVM but Creative has failed to give me a path to follow. From my ZVM I go...down? The ZEN is not an option. |

Sep 12 (2008) 05:35PM | My guess is just more speakers to roll out. And with all that they should really look into the home theater systems. My best advice: partner with Google before anyone and introduce a player that will go head to head with the iTouch. So basically Android with Chrome and Creative X-Fi sound =D Then advertise with Dream Player or 'dp' on another option, g drive music streaming should be possible [ edited Sep 12 (2008) 05:36PM ] |

Sep 12 (2008) 06:05PM | Great, another epic fail from creative!!! this time with PRESS!!! I want to think they'll make a player that really rocks - probably still be waiting after the commercial break also - UNFORTUNATELY!!! |

Sep 12 (2008) 06:09PM | If we don't get a ZVM like player with higher capacity here then I give up. If we do get one I am selling my Zune ASAMP! |

Sep 12 (2008) 06:36PM | Creative will release nothing worthwhile so forget having any hope. I've seen what Walmart sells, and Creative products are going to be squeezed out of the retail box store market very soon. Sony, Sandisk, Philips and other PMP makers are now competing on price & feature sets alongside Creative, and winning. I still want to see a PMP / VOIP capable device on a retail shelf with other than the same ipod connected to it. [ edited Sep 12 (2008) 06:38PM ] |

Sep 13 (2008) 12:40AM ![]() | I am heard everywhere. Maybe not just about x-fi being included in lots of new products but perhaps syncing of some sort with other products to take advantage of it. sounds good. etiher way, I like! |

Sep 13 (2008) 02:01AM | ACCORDING TO JAN, who commented on engadget. "Jan @ Sep 12th 2008 12:55PM A friend at a local computer shop tells me its going to be a new ExpressCard 34 X-Fi soundcard. Apparently, Creative was showing the tech at a distributor show when my friend saw it a few weeks back. He said the picture looks like the part of the card with headphone out and mic-in ports that is about an inch out from the edge of the laptop. The cool thing is that it has a built-in wireless transmitter so you can send audio files to transmitters around your home from the laptop. That sounds really cool (no pun intended)! With the number of laptops being sold it only makes sense to update their one and only ExpressCard offering and give it more functionality. I imagine its a condensed form of their Xmod wireless system in an ExpressCard format. [Linky] " Now I would say it makes sense. The transmitter makes it "heard everywhere". but nothing is definite, and I hope they do release more than one thing on that day... [ edited Sep 13 (2008) 02:02AM ] |

Sep 13 (2008) 04:10AM | ^ Old, I'm pretty sure. Apple doesn't have to do very much advertising. Their domination of the market sees to free public exposure (forgot the real term).. And even news channels cover their new products. Overall, I do hope that Creative do benefit in some way from this press event. |

Sep 15 (2008) 12:10AM | it sure will, whether it's something nice or a real disappointment, Creative will give us something to talk about. I for one am expecting something since it's not common of Creative giving a press event, but at the same time, they have a record or letting us down, so I don't want to get my hopes up. |

Zen Xfi is by far the latest they have added to their current range, while the audio streaming via wifi has been a positive experience, it is not the killer appl. |
