[ image disabled ] The ZEN X-Fi2 has received much criticism mainly for its sluggish interface and unresponsive touch screen. And Creative must have heard it loud and clear as in the latest ZEN X-Fi2 firmware released today, it has provided an almost complete re-design of its user interface. In what could be the most drastic firmware update ever (please ignore the dramatization), Creative has added in new features to the ZEN X-Fi2. The new features are: -Colored icons UI -Accelerometer (for photos) -Sudoku game (shock!) I must say that the colored icons should have been there in the very first place and why the accelerometer will only work while viewing photos is still a mystery to me. But it's interesting that Creative added in the Sudoku game, which could be a signal of more applications to come. I have upgraded my ZEN X-Fi2 with the latest firmware and i must say that the responsiveness has greatly improved! If you have been considering buying the ZEN X-Fi2, this firmware update might have made up your mind for you. Now, could we have microSD integration next, Creative?
