Creative Muvo owned by generic mp3 player:) cendyne? ahhahaha

[0roo0roo]

suck it creative

Unpleasantly for Creative, George also sounds better. The MuVo has only one equalisation setting, which would appear to be tuned for the earphones it comes with; it's got a fat mid-bass boost that's arguably better than nothing with dinky little earphones, but which sounds obnoxious through anything better. You can't turn the bass boost off; you're stuck with it.


btw, he named it george because its name varies

Based off the specs, the MuVo isn't a bad mp3 player; moreover, it's very small which is a good selling point.

did u even read the review/comparison?

EDIT: oops... sent a blank response.

Yes, I did read the review. But what of it? So the review is saying that there are other players that look/are the MuVo but are also sold for much cheaper (and or contain more options). That's the nature of healthy marketing, right? I mean, the reason why people buy the Creative version of this said generic mp3 player is because of Creative's superior marketing practice when compared to the ____ mp3 player that are apparently clones of the MuVo (or vice versa), right? Note, I firmly believe AGAINST brand loyalty, but even though Creative has its fair share of crappy products and poor support, they are obviously marketing their mp3 player better than the other companies making this "George" aren't they?

Yup Creative has the marketing advantage here. The other player seems to be the better one based on the review, and the look of it is more sleek and stylish than the MuVo. But thie review doesnt entirely convince me that I should really buy the 'George' over the MuVo. Most people would never see 'George' in their entire life, simply because it's not advertised on the back of every computer magazine. Creative still wins on the selling point, even tho there are oh so many better compact MP3 players out there.

The problem with George is that you can't judge the quality. And what happens if you need a warranty / replacement? The difference in price is not just because of the name, there is a price for lower cost

I think his point is well stated. Everyone gets the point from the review that George is undoubtly better. That's not very much argueable since most of us don't have those 2 MP3 players side by side. But what the review missed is that Creative still has a hugely successful marketing strategy over whoever is publishing George. Better product does not mean it'll be more successful. In this industry, its mainly about HOW to sell your product, not just how good is your product. Just look at AMD and Intel and you would understand.
