Title: Creative's Zen Vision W
Verdict: For those of us who don't think we spend enough time in front of a screen, Creative (CREAF) has introduced the Zen Vision W. This is the company's latest attempt to scale Mount St. iPod, and it has a certain appeal. Available in 30 GB ($299.99) and 60...
Summary: Short clips and music are a breeze, but downloading longer video files will definitely trouble your serenity.

Title: Creative Zen Vision W - Portable Media Player Reviews by Mobile Tech Review
Pros: Fantastic widescreen display is perfect for movie playback: high resolution, great brightness and super-saturated color with a good viewing angle and sharpness. Sound quality is also excellent and the FM radio gets better reception than average, though th
Cons: No add-on hardware for recording video. Natively supports JPEG format photos only- RAW photographers can backup images from a card to the Zen Vision W but they can't view them. Requires included drivers to mount the entire drive as a removable disk (only
Verdict: If you're a video collector, DVD ripper (we won't tell anyone), YouTube addict or are enamored with Amazon's Unbox service and want to take your videos with you anywhere, the Creative Zen Vision W is an excellent choice. We recommend the 60 gig if you can

Title: Creative Zen Vision W debuts in US
Summary: As expected, Creative went and released the Zen Vision W here in the US. We know that this hit Singapore late last month at COMEX, and CNET managed to review one already -- but what we didn't know is that the Zen Vision will play content from Amazon's new

Title: Creative Zen Vision W portable media player
Verdict: Creative has made a great player of the Zen Vision W. While we love the widescreen LCD, it's quick to drain the battery. But providing you don't venture too far from the mains socket, the Creative Zen Vision W is an excellent choice.
Summary: Creative's Zen Vision W succeeds its Vision portable media player, gaining a W denoting its widescreen aspect. The epic 4.3in screen is fantastic, displaying both photos and video beautifully and in vivid detail.

Title: Creative Zen Vision W media player - FIRST LOOK
Pros: Screen, hard drive space, compact flash slot
Cons: Still not sure why?
Verdict: It looks good, has plenty of storage space and a really great screen, we are just still not convinced this is the player to win over the movie download crowd to be crowned a Hot Product
Summary: - The Creative Zen Vision W is the company's widescreen media player and sees the Creative return to offering a widescreen display to make watching movies and TV content considerably easier than on its pocketable Vision M device.

Verdict: For the moment we prefer quality over aspect ratio
Summary: Among the variety of gadgetry that drops through PCF's letter box, there's little more covetable than a PMP. So when a good-quality portable player arrives, we sit up and take notice

Pros: Sleek looks, Easy to use, Accomplished performance
Cons: Dated interface, Quite bulky
Verdict: Solid, but somewhat behind the times
Summary: Unlike many such devices, this is specifically a video player. It's not the best video player around - far from it - but it's the one that's trying the most to make it its foremost raison d'etre (the W even stands for widescreen)

Title: Creative Zen Vision W - Gadget Guy Australia
Pros: Bright screen. Good viewing angle. Decent ergonomics.
Cons: Limited formats supported. Poor built-in speaker. Can't record from TV.
Verdict: The Zen Vision W is a comprehensive hardware solution for portable video, but one that lacks a comprehensive software solution to back it up. If this device embraced open-source encoding and supported a wider variety of video codecs, it would be the video
