    By jl  Jun 7, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Creative Zen Portable Media Center 20 GB review helpful

    Pros: alright

    Cons: alright

    maybe you should've read the spec. before you buy this product. it specifically stated that it works only with windows xp. and if you are looking for this thing to store or play your dvds then maybe you are looking at a wrong product. it specific...ally tells you what formats of audio it play and what formats of video it plays. A good lesson from this is to read about any products before you rush into buying it or you be end up like #1. Read more Less

    Entertainment to Go

    Music, video, or both? We try slick new IPod rivals, the first Portable Media Centers, and other handhelds to see which pack the most fun into a portable package.I tested a stack of audio players for functionality, ease of use, audio quality, portability, size, price, and style. Depending on the device, you can record MP3s from your favorite CDs, listen to FM radio, save your brilliant business ideas via voice recording, and keep your vacation photos handy. The Apple IPods even hold your personal calendar and address book. Read more

    Creative Zen Portable Media Center

    First on what is soon to be a crowded field, the Zen is an impressive device. The multistandard video output is an especially attractive feature, letting long-haul road warriors catch up on PVRd TV shows in overseas hotel rooms. Greater capacity would be nice you know that even with 40 feature films at your fingertips, you still might whine that theres nothing to watch. But $499 is hardly too high a price to be the first on your block with the next gotta-have-it gadget. Read more
