Creative Ups Zen V Plus' Flash Storage to 16GB
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 10:00 AM
"Zen V Plus sports a 1.5-inch OLED screen for display of track information, photos in 128x128 px glory. One can record music directly from the CD player or any other source by plugging the bundled line-in cable directly. Its ergonomically designed 5-way joystick enables easy access to all menus. You can even start voice recording with just a click of a button. ZEN V Plus does much more than play music or display photos. Use it to display the time, as a handy alarm clock, or even to view your calendar, tasks and contacts. Maximize it as an external storage device that stores your important files and documents (drag n drop, yay!!). ZEN V Plus comes with 8 presets and custom EQ settings to bring out the best in your music."
$200 for 16GB flash storage? Hmm, that might be worth more than a hard drive based player that has more capacity. Honestly, the only times I want that much space (i.e. greater than 16GB) is when I am backing up data or moving files between two computers that can't connect over the network. Yeah, it means that you will likely not get your entire music collection on it, but it will be enough to keep you going for some time without having to copy files back and forth as often.
