I just ordered the cheaper 2GB Zen at creative.com for only $79.99 US (less than hundred bucks even with taxes). 2GB is fine for me as I have many 1,2,4 and a couple of 8GB SD cards that I can use with it and have seperate cards for music/videos/photos/etc.

I can’t wait to get it as I have heard many good things from friends. I hope it plays my Divx TV episodes that vary in sizing (w/h), Creative website only says that Divx and Xvid is supported if larger then the screen (320 x 240 resolution).

they will come out with zen 1.0 a month after launching this.

It’s still more cool to hold an Apple product, the design is better than Creative’s. They need some work there too but I think it’s improving generally. I’m especially fond of slim electronics so to please me you just need to make your electronics slimmer. I bought a Samsung U600 just because I like that it’s slim and it just looks so pretty.

Ahh.. yet another reason why Creative products don’t sell well.

The other known reasons is that Creative’s marketing strategy is known to suck. But it can’t beat the hype surrounding all these i-products that Apple is marketing. Not that it’s any superior at all to Creative’s products according to those guys at CNET who does the evaluation.
