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 »

Creative Zen Wav Leaked? Possible iPod Nano Competitor Spotted in Singapore

10:00AM Seamus Byrne | Just when we thought the Creative Zen Stone was the only thing they had up their sleeves, Creative’s gone and released a Zen Wav in Singapore (their home country). The device looks like a Nano competitor with a set of integrated speakers, 2GB storage, FM radio, voice recording, and a photo/video playback mode. There’s no word whether this will be available in the US, but the price there in Singapore seems to be $117 when converted to bucks. But if Creative wants this to stand up to the best-selling iPod Nano they’ve got to bring the goods. And when we say goods, they take that to mean building a player that looks almost exactly like the Nano except for some speakers and a different control scheme. – Jason Chen Anything But iPod [via Electronista] More »
