The giant Creative recently celebrated selling its 25 millionth digital music player and this is the second time the company is announcing good news. Crave reports about Creative's plans to pop out both 32GB and 2 GB flavored ZEN players. The player's internal memory is going to go from hard disk to pure flash. While there is no official info on the 32 GB PMP, the 2GB one is said to retail straight from the Creative UK site, for a price tag of about 69 pounds a piece.

What does this really mean? Well, it seems that the monster player will be able to hold up to 8.000 songs or about 120 hours of video content. Moreover, this Zen series will also continue to support SDHC cards for more than 4GB extra memory boost.

Zen is currently known as being a cool portable media player, featuring a credit-sized shape form, as well as a stunning built-in screen display. When it comes to its concrete capabilities, the PMP is compatible with music, videos and photo files, decoding MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, MPEG, WMV9 and more. Besides that, the PMP looks pretty good, revealing a 2.5 inch 320 x 240 pixels resolution and and a rated battery life of about 25 hours of audio media and up to 5 hours of video.

Moreover, the player's sound performances can also be customized with one of the integrated pre-sets EQs. It also supports audio books and allows users to share content and sideshow multi media files. Extra features include an album art, voice recorder, FM radio, clock and alarm functions, volume restriction and more.

Needless to say, the Zen can be customized with a lot of accessories such as leather cases, armbands, skins, screen protectors and more.

Sadly, there is no official word about an upgraded version of Zen, even though it was rumored to hit the market sometime around the holidays. As for the pricing detail, a 32 GB PMP could easily reach and even exceed 300 bucks. Sadly for the Europeans, it appears the 32GB Zen will retail for about ?400 and be limited to 500 units!
