Creative's Zen Gets 'Mozaic' Makeover

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponReddit

How many times have you laid awake late at night trying to figure out why no one has come up with an MP3 player sporting a mosaic keypad? Probably none, but to ensure you never do, Creative just announced its new Zen Mozaic music player, which the company describes as "a striking sight to behold." And striking it is, but you can form your own interpretation on that one.

The Zen Mozaic replaces Creative's Zen V line, and along with a new look, the "trendy and distinctive" music player increases the screen size from 1.5 to 1.8-inches. Other features include:

  • 2GB or 4GB capacities (8GB and 16GB to be available at a later date)
  • Built-in FM radio with up to 32 preset stations
  • Built-in microphone
  • Up to 32 hours of continuous audio playback

Oh, and it comes with a built-in speaker, so not only can you surprise passerbys with its 'unique' looks, but you can make sure no one dares comes within listening distance by blaring out crummy music if you so desire.

Pricing and Availability

The Zen Mozaic coms in black or pink for the 2GB model at $99, or black, pink, or silver for the 4GB model at $129. Towards the end of August, you'll also be able to pick up an 8GB or 16GB model in black for $249. Plan on getting one?

Plan on getting one? Might just might, can't wait for the review. From the picture, in my opinion the design sure beats ipot.  If the quality also top level, then I would really rather get this.
