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

Title: Creative Zen Vision W media player - FIRST LOOK
Pros: Screen, hard drive space, compact flash slot

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.

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)

Pros: Bright screen. Good viewing angle. Decent ergonomics.
Cons: Limited formats supported. Poor built-in speaker. Can't record from TV.
