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...

@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

It does.

I wish Creative would show something with the Zii.

After that was announced the website started losing posters =(

Just thought I'd put this in for anyone interisted. If anyone can get links for these reviews I'd appreciate as I'm still computer dumb and don't know how to do it myself.
The reviews rate both as very good and their sound as excellent. Let downs are that there is nothing innovative about them.
Best as I can tell they're both great sounding solidly built and easy to use players with the 32 gig Xfi style being a bargain. I hope these players get more attention. Of Course with sites like Anything But Creative...er Ipod they probably won't fare very well since they don't have a gazillion sound enhancements, but from these and other reviews, I gather they're solid players for someone who just wants to listen to music and maybe a short video.
I still love my Zen 32, still probably an all time great bargain and it sounds great.

Yeah, the ABI avoids Creative like the plague. I have always found Creative players to be some of the best out there if you're looking for a solid music player and nothing more. Having used the Zen's and Sansa Fuze and Clip, I largely prefer to spend my money on the budget players and use high-end headphones instead of going after the crazy ass customizable geeked out Cowon and Samsung touch screens. My preference I guess. I hope Creative continues to put out better Zen's in the future.

I can agree there. The only thing you really get for more is a bunch of eq and surround settings and then bells and whistles which I probably have on my phone already. Your right about investing in headphones as the only reason you need an eq on these is to help the cheap phones. I haven't experienced surround sound on and MP3 player, but dollars for donuts besides improving the sound stage it adds distortion.
