14 DAY TRIAL // Creative Technology Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, has launched yesterday the ZEN V Plus MP3, photo and video player with built-in FM radio.
As it is small and lightweight, the ZEN V Plus is ergonomically designed so it can be put inside the coin pocket of the jeans. Furthermore, each player includes a line-in port for direct recording from a CD player or other audio device, and a voice recorder for capturing notes on the go.
"We designed the ZEN V Plus to provide an incredible user experience - it's a player that you don't want to put down once you hold it in your hand. We developed the ZEN V Plus with a look and a user experience that create the true feeling of ZEN," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. "Photos and videos and our patented ZEN user interface look so vivid on the stunning color screen and the sound quality is awesome; it's surprising for such a tiny player."
The ZEN V Plus supports music subscription services such as Yahoo!Music Unlimited, Urge, Napster To Go, and Rhapsody To Go, in addition to supporting Audible audio books and pay-per-download services including Soundbuzz.
Each player includes a line-in port for direct recording from a CD player or other audio device, and a voice recorder for capturing notes on the go. The ZEN V Plus also features a special coating on the entire player to help prevent scratching, an enhanced 1.5-inch OLED screen for stunning video, photos and album art, built-in FM radio with 32 station presets, an organizer with Calendar, Contacts and Tasks functions and an advanced user interface for intuitively accessing music, photos, video and color menus and displaying album art.
The ZEN V Plus will be available in August for $229.99 for the 4GB model in glossy black with blue accents, $169.99 for the 2GB model in glossy black or white with green accents, and US $129.99 for the 1GB model in glossy black or white with orange accents.
