64GB Creative ZEN X-Fi2 now available




Some may have forgotten, but the Creative ZEN was actually the first 32GB flash player released. I thought it was a bold move at the time, considering the financial woes of the Singapore company. Despite their continued struggles, Creative has announced a 64GB model for the ZEN X-Fi2. They’re not the first to reach that capacity this time around, but better late than never I say. The 64GB X-Fi2 is available for S$399 Singapore dollars, or about $287US.

kinda old news, but well yeah

anyway, some say the performance of the xfi2 is still not would a pmp specialist would like
so the excitement around this 64 gig zen xfi2 isn't that great

I think it's a great move by Creative Labs, serving the high-end users

can somebody fill me in about the general performance of the touchscreen, music quality and the accelerometer

thanks ..

Hi Wilfried,

Don't expect an iPod Touch. The touch screen is a little slow and no multi touch...
However, this X-Fi2 is great at playing music and movies. The accelometer works, great. I've been using the ADK and it's good te be able to write my own apps for the X-Fi2.

Once you get used to it, it works nicely and the interface is (IMO) intuitive. The touch screen is no issue, I'm a happy owner.

For it's price, the X-Fi2 Touch is great.

Greetings,
Bamsebjørn

I love the X-Fi2. I wish I could afford to buy the 64 GB. It's about time they released a large capacity MP3 player.

64GB touch screen, small, FLAC, X-Fi crystalizer for $110 cheaper than the 64GB iPod touch...good deal

Not really...the iPod touch is much more than a PMP. Higher res screen, capacitive multitouch screen, full internet browser, Wifi, Skype, push email, access to all app store games/apps, support for thousands of third-party apps via jailbreak (such as VLC media player).

This device has none of those features. Creative is lagging far behind these days.

Who cares.. aside from a handful of niche ONLINE etail stores.. this won't get any shelf/warehouse space in the USA market. The bar's been too high for Creative for some time now and 64gb isn't going to be a Killer feature with wifi-enabled PMPs anymore because an app can be developed to swap in-out media from online sources. The extent to which the PMPs become application, best-in-class interface & internet, and video out devices will make or break their popularity for the foreseeable future.

I just feel a bit sad for Creative these days....i used to be a complete fan of their products, and they got a lot of my money. Since the Vision:W, nothing else has really intrigued me....i check in here once in a while to see what they are doing, but it's really a lot of nothing....which is sad!

Well Creative has gone with offering a lot for the money, 64 gigs for $279 isn't bad, bet it'll be $220 come December.
Creative isn't trying to compete with Apple, but my experience with the Zen has me planning on staying with them.
