"We designed the Creative ZEN Vision W with a stunning 16:9-format widescreen and 30GB or 60GB capacity to be the most compelling portable video player and photo viewer on the market," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. "With support for a large selection of video formats, subscription and download music services and a built-in Compact Flash slot for direct transfer of photos from many popular digital cameras, the Creative ZEN Vision W is the ultimate travel companion."
60GB Zen Vision:M - Now with USB-HostCreative also announced the 60GB Zen Vision:M. Someone sent me the model number for this a few months ago and it had said "60GB OTG". Well that's for good reason as it will have the ability to use a USB-Host that will allow you to connect a digital camera to transfer pictures (On-The-Go). It will retail for around $380US (converted from Singapore dollars). No word on whether the USB-Host capabilities will be available for us 30GB owners.
Creative also today announced a 60GB model of the award-winning Creative ZEN Vision:M MP3, photo and video player. The new 60GB model can hold up to 15,000 songs, up to 240 hours of video or tens of thousands of photos. It also enables users to transfer photos from a digital camera directly to the player with the included USB Host Adapter cable. The Creative ZEN Vision:M (60GB) will be available for pre-order at COMEX 2006 on 31 August 2006 for just S$599.00. It will be available in Singapore at all Creative Stores island-wide and online at sg.store.creative.com, as well as other retail stores in end September 2006.
These two players definitely sound like great additions to Creative's lineup. Make sure to keep it here for all the latest news from Creative!
