QUOTE from dapreview:

"Creative has just announced a new player to their line up. It's the Zen Neeon 2. As the name says, it's a follow-up to the Zen Neeon. That first player was not a crowd favorite, but I have a strong feeling this player will be. This time it has a color screen, and even plays video. Like the Zen V Plus, this is a flash player from Creative, and will come in sizes ranging up to 4GB's. Strangely, the Zen V Plus was said to be a competitor to the ipod Nano, but looking at the design and better GUI of this player, I'd have to say this looks like a better competitor.

Specs:

* 1, 2, and 4GB capacities
* 1.5" CSTN Display
* Audio: MP3, WMA, WMA-Protected, and WAV
* Video: Transcoded AVI
* FM Tuner
* Voice Recorder
* Line-In Recorder
* 20 hours of battery life for Audio, and 8 hours for video
* UMS/MSC Compliant (Works on all OS's!)
* 5 unique brushed-metal backplate colours to cater to every mood.
* Dimension: 81 x 42 x 12.5 mm and 50g's

Impressive specs from Creative if you ask me. UMS support and 8 hours of battery life are quite nice, although I imagine videos are more of an extra with this player. This player also allows you to customize the front with various Stik-On's from Creative. Pricing are in Sinapore dolars and are as follows: S$199.00 (~$125US) for the 1GB model, S$269.00 (~$170US) for the 2GB model and S$309.00 (~$195US) for the 4GB model."

looks nice...they might have something I'm interested in buying now to replace that zen micro I killed last year by sending it through the wash.

Dammit, Creative needs to streamline their product line. They have so many products it's confusing even for me...

This is too much like the NEW Zen V Plus. I like it, but...
