I almost converted to Apple, as the new Creative series did not catch my attention anymore. I had a first gen Zen but thank God I saw the X Fi 10 days ago, and bought it immediatly. I am very pleased with the sound my X fi card delivers in my pc. It really makes a diffirence. Cant wait to receive it!!! Thanks, good review.

They won a ton of money in a lawsuit from Apple.. they should have gone onto one of the popular Home Shopping Networks, cut the price by $50 (or at least undercut comparable iPod) and sold the crap out of them. Word of mouth is a far more better advertiser than print, web ads, tv, etc. If they could get a ton of these out there, maybe, just maybe, Creative will be taking seriously by the rest of the world. iPods are great.. I have hesitated simply because of copatibility issues with video and other things. My 30GB Vision:M is still kicking and enjoy dumping a view Xvid/Divx movies for when I travel. Add the vid output and I have a portable movie collection.. drag and drop.. no convert. Anyway, get in the game, Creative.

It enables you to chat on MSN and Yahoo! Messenger and also stream content over your home server. In replacement of the five-way tactile pad is 9 small round buttons. It works the way you text on your hand phone (Number 2 button represents “a”, “b” and “c”) for the instant messaging function” Well thats really wrong because the method to input text on this player is not like that all, the method is nothing like a standard cell phone which you are suggesting. If you don’t believe me hit “Creative Zen X-Fi wireless Features Part 2″ into youtube, then you will really see how frustrating the texting method is. I find the Messenger Live! and Yahoo! IM chat feature the most useless feature and is only there as an attractive yet still very useless feature. Although I must say everything else on the ZEN X-FI is perfect. maybe all that plastic could have been metal though... but I suppose that makes the player lighter. Very good Review. 4/5 “One new feature of the ZEN X-Fi is the Wireless Lan. It enables you to chat on MSN and Yahoo! Messenger and also stream content over your home server.

How do you convert the videos? does it have a converter in the installation disk? If centrale is the way to go, i couldn't find the convert button anywhere 2. Is the screen scratch proof? 3. Overall, what would you rate higher and why? (b\w zen and x-fi) 4. How much of disk space would a movie (originally in divX format [torrents !;) ] which is about 700 mb, ) be in the format the player requires???

I love how it sounds but Creative really has to put value on customer's demands..Long ago, people wanted to have SD card integration but Creative ignored it...since they are releasing 16GB versions, a 16GB SDHC upgrade isn't much a big deal to them,people would still be buying their products. The case with ZEN is different when they have lower capacity version, say 2GB and if they have the SD card integ, then they are on the losing end. Just imaging people buying just a 2GB ZEN + 16GB SDHC....The case with ZEN X-Fi is different, and so Creative must have that SD card integration in their next firmware release...I really love Creative, much like I want to help them or something..I dont want them to suddenly disappear from this type of market..They must know the commoner's demands, and not just focus on the High tech features....
