Creative Zen Sleek
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 11:00 PM
"The Creative Zen Sleek ($220 street), an industrial-looking 20GB MP3 player encased in silver-colored brushed aluminum, is roughly the size of a fourth-generation 20GB iPod but has a slightly wider screen. As with the Zen Micro, you control it with a touch strip surrounded by five clearly labeled buttons. Sound quality is very good, the interface is reasonably easy to use, the player is compatible with online subscription and download services, and you get a few handy extras. Assuming you can find the player for a decent price, don't use a Mac, and aren't into looking at tiny photos, it's worth a look."
Although the focus as of late has been on Creative's Zen Vison, they have also come out with this new Sleek model. I am guessing it is meant as a replacement for the Touch model. It looks like a fairly no-frills model with a price tag to match, which is just the way some people like it.
