Friday Deal, Creative’s Wide Screen Portable
Creative’s Wide Screen Zen Vision is an excellent 30 GB little unit, with high resolution screen and all the features you’d ever expect from your portable media player.
Of course it plays MP3s and WMAs, with Creative’s known excellent sound quality, but the kicker feature is undoubtedly video. Check out the impressive supported codecs list: MPEG-4 SP, XviD, DivX 5.0, DivX 4.0, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Motion JPEG, WMV.
With this impressive list, chances are you won’t need to transcode any of your existing media, just copy as is and it plays!
Rumor has it that Microsoft’s Zune is going to get a wide screen edition in the future, but why wait? Another rumor has it that if you connect this or Archos unit to one of the newer DishNetwork DVRs, it will recognize it and let you copy your recorded shows onto it.
Just $199 after two rebates (yea, I hate rebates too, but I love saving money!).
