Digital Home Thoughts: Creative Brings on the Wi-Fi

"New details have been leaked about Creative's answer to the iPod touch and Zune, a wireless music player with Wi-Fi media sharing capabilities called the Zen X-Fi. Pictures show the device sporting a chrome-and-black plastic look that's vaguely reminiscent of the iPhone, along with a nine-point directional pad. Besides certain internet features, X-Fi will also come with an SD card slot and a built-in speaker."

The only internet feature I see mentioned is the ability to be used for IM, which is not really a big deal to me, but will probably be killer for a subset of users. I really liked the fact that they included a built in speaker though. This is one thing I would like to see more of. Combined with a clock/alarm, it makes a great addition to the travel functionality of the device.
