 Creative Vision M - iPod competition
“When people see the Zen Vision:M, they tell us it's incredibly cool,” said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative. “We designed the Zen Vision:M with its mesmerizing 262,144 color screen to display four times the color of the 30GB iPod that plays video, and to provide twice the battery life for video playback. Plus, we offer people the freedom to choose their video in a variety of different formats, and to get subscription music or download tracks from a number of different sites to their player.”

“The Creative Zen Vision:M's capability to hold such a large number of songs makes it a great device to use in conjunction with Yahoo! Music Unlimited, where music lovers can access more than a million songs,” said Dave Goldberg, General Manager of Yahoo! Music. “We are pleased that all of the Creative Zen hard-drive based players, such as the Zen Vision, the Zen Sleek Photo, Zen MicroPhoto and the new Zen Vision:M are well suited to work with and support the Yahoo!
