Apple Is So Creative
12:00PM Matt Buchanan | One of the things I was really blown away by yesterday was the sheer number of colours in the new iPod rainbow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many hues of an MP3 Player. Where did they get them all?? More »

Creative’s Zen Krystal MP3 Materialises Out of Nowhere
3:39AM Sean Fallon | It kind of looks like a Zen Stone, and it is certainly a far cry from the Zen X-Fi, but this little MP3 player has been discovered hiding on Creative’s Hong Kong site. Apparently, the 4GB Zen Krystal is designed to be a sports player with a pedometer that functions similarly to the Nike+ line. It also includes games like “Hurdle Race, Catch & Dodge and Dice Roll” as well as a Blue 0.7″ OLED, FM radio, and 10 hours of playback. A price and a release date have not been made available.

32GB Creative Zen Available Now, Really?
1:46PM Chris Mascari | A few weeks ago Creative confirmed that the 32GB Zen was coming, but sadly would not see the light of day till the second quarter of 2008. Well, it appears that Creative’s US site is showing the 32GB Zen in stock and available for shipment. For some reason the Zen product page doesn’t show the 32GB model in stock when selected in the drop down menu; but when placed in the cart, it shows that it is indeed available. So if you were planing on layin-down $US349.99 on the largest capacity Zen when it was finally available, your time has come. Oh, and as a bonus you might actually be able to get this in time for Christmas, if you order soon. [Creative] More »

Dealzmodo USA: Refurbed 30GB Creative Zen Vision: M for $100, 8GB Zen Micro for $70
7:35AM Matt Buchanan | They’re refurbs, which makes the deal less shiny than the crapload of cheap Zune 30s, but they come with decent warranties so don’t let it put you off. The 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M is $US100, which ain’t too shabby dealwise. But the real steal here is the 8GB Creative Zen Micro for only $US70–a great deal for a solid flash player w/ that much storage. Naturally, there’s far fewer of these in stock, so don’t waffle around for too long. [Buy.com, Buy.com via Gadget Lab] More »
