Just in time for the new year Creative has announced the Zen Moo in China. Well technically the Chinese New Year begins on January 26th in 2009 but close enough. As many of you know, the Zen Moo was made to pay tribute to the "Year of the Ox". According to the Zodiac (and Wikipedia), "The Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work." Hopefully that rings true in these tough economic times. Okay enough with the school lesson, how about a little fun? While browsing Creative China I found this ad for the Zen Moo. It's cute, creepy, and everything in between. I've uploaded to youtube for your viewing pleasure:



Isn't that the best darn cow animation you've ever seen? I gave the Zen moo a hard time in my last article, but I've warmed up to it since. I think it's a cute little player and Creative really put the details into it. They even put large black splotches on the carrying case for that full bovine experience. The player is currently exclusive to China, but I'd sure like to see it here.

I want to wish everyone here all the best for 2009! We'll be back better than ever next year.
