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.
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

Creative Firmware News Roundup
Creative Zen V (Plus) Firmware 1.10.03 Released
Creative just released a new firmware for the Zen V (Plus). Not too many noteworthy features added, but one worth mentioning is the ability to play larger video files on the ZVP. Here's the full list of additions and fixes:
Added Features or Enhancements:
* Adds Polish, Turkish, Czech and Hungarian support for your player. * Allows your player to work better with new Creative speakers like TravelSound® ZEN V and PlayDock® Z500. * Adds the Set Clock menu item. Select Main Menu -> System -> Clock Settings -> Set Clock. * Enables your player to support larger video files.
Fixes:
* Improves your player's overall performance and connectivity. * Removes the Organizer option from the default main menu. * Enables the display of picture thumbnails from your player's icon in Windows Explorer (for computers with Windows Media® Player 11 only). * Enables playback of audio tracks downloaded with Rhapsody™ version 3.1 and Rhapsody version 4.0.
A few weeks ago Creative released Firmware version 1.50.02 for the Zen Vision:M and it was met with mixed feelings. On one hand it added some nice new features and actually made the player a bit faster, yet on the other hand it removed FM recording capabilities. There was another unforseen consequence of upgrading this firmware for many owners, and that was the inability to play or download subscription content to their players.
After a few members and myself shot off a couple of emails to Creative, they've taken down this firmware version and put back up the previous one (1.41.01). The retraction of the latest firmware shows that they are actively working to fix the problem with DRM files. Unfortunately, many of our wishes for a return of FM recording capabilities with this patched firmware will likely go unanswered.

Zen MicroPhoto Firmware 1.30.04
The Zen MicroPhoto is the latest victim to Creative's assault on FM recording. You get a few extras for the trade-off:
# Supports the playback of Audible Type 4 tracks. # Adds the Volume Restriction feature, which allows you to restrict your player's maximum playback volume. # Provides better support for languages other than English # Improves responsiveness for the player's onscreen interface. # Improves transfer latency times for DRM-protected files # Enables the display of picture thumbnails from your player's icon in Windows Explorer (for computers with Windows Media® Player 11
