Creative Zen Vision:M review

This fun player is extremely accommodating, indulging your penchant for music, films, TV, radio and photography with its 30GB hard drive and high-res colour screen. It’ll even sync with your entire Outlook contents.

TV, music and film in your hand

What’s not to like? Creative’s MediaSource software is commendable, while the Zen’s screen offers a pin-sharp foundation for pics and video footage, despite a horizontal viewing angle issue.  

The FM radio auto-tunes in super-quick time and sounds great – as does music playback. Unfortunately it does scratch rather easily, though, so best kit it out with a little bodywarmer to extend its delicate little life.

An Apple a day won’t keep the Vision:M away – Creative’s latest jukebox is, without a doubt, its greatest.
