well i just got it, and here it is! sorry for bad pics...webcam...

that's a reflection, not a scratch! again..horrible pics but i dont have a camera here at school

fits perfectly with my misterxp mini amp...and therefore i imagine, perfect with tomahawks and the like. still charging, so will post impressions soon.

 

[fatman711]

so i'm guessing that there is no line out?

Can't wait to hear your impressions, fil.

Thanks for the pics! So the Zen has the same footprint as the small Hammond case? That would be a neat coincidence.

there is a dock out port at least on my zen W

 

[filipelli]

its only got a mini usb out...so i don't think its got a line out that we can use for our audio devices like say the ipod

 

[leo5111]

the zen W has a port next to the mini usb port its like 1 inch wide EDIT for the zen W heres proof look at 7th picture from left http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...+70PF201000009 EDIT my mistake i thought we were talking about the zen vision 30 gig

comparing the UK price of these vs the US price was quite eye opening ...

a friend of mine is getting one soon - I'll be interested to compare vs the IPOD.

I like the fact that Creative give you a card expansion slot.

Great, I'm thinking of one of these too!

Ya, I understand from your point of view also. Anyways, the 16 GB is now $250. This sucks, now to decide the Zen or the P2. Dang it!

Hey filipelli can you just drag and drop the music on this unit ??

Thanks.

 

[filipelli]

yes you can! although video requires conversion which is pretty simple. so far i love this player. it is so small and light and it's unbelievable how robust it is despite the small package. the sound is robust as well..i am unsure about the sound quality at the moment because i only have ep630s at my disposal - which can be overly bassy. the user interface is fantastic - very easy to navigate and the screen - oh man the colors! tops my ipod and the vision M for sure. more impressions to follow. nothing real bad so far.

 

[abitdeef]

^ Thanks sir, that sounds promising, so you can just drop albums off of explorer and it databases them, nice. From what I remember the zen VISION M had a nice screen, so it must be a really awesome screen. Can't wait for more detail on the sound!

How many gigs is availible after the OS formatting from Creative? I am just wondering because I plan on using it for music and video, now I just need to figure out what size SD card I need. Thanks in advance.

 

[filipelli]

when i first got the player, i saw that it only has 7.7gb out of the 8gb in the specs. however, this is with all the creative videos, music and pictures on the player for demos. i can't say what it is after formatting because i didn't check when i did it...sorry.

so far, i am happy to say the video conversion allows video files to be compressed enough that they have decent quality but still save on space. i guesstimate that a 4gb sd card can hold a seasons worth of the office after compressed for sure...perhaps more.
