What happened to Creative's MP3 Zen line

Hello all,

I have the Creative Zen V Plus 8GB and would like to upgrade it to 16GB or 32GB flash mp3 player.

However, there are no new Zens out. Is there a similar mp3 player that I should look into? The ones I find online and stores are mostly up to 8GB so they're not really an upgrade. Also the Zen is really durable and the ipod/zunes don't have the hard plastic casings.

Is Creative still developing new mp3 players?

Cheers
 
They couldn't gain any ground against the ipod and they lost the low end to Sandisk. They went with the media devices that go beyond the ipod touch/zune hd and there just isn't much market there.

I love my Creative Vision:M but it's showing its age, so today I bought a Zune HD from Amazon. I was amazed when I played with it in the store. It has such a nice screen and so small. It also seemed very solidly built.

I'm jealous. I want a Zune HD so bad. I was amazed at the build quality, size, and speed when I tried it at Best Buy last week. Hoping the apps/games start to show up soon.
 
well, i really want a small mp3 player like the Zen V Plus that has bigger memory and updated features. The newer Zen look brittle and don't look all that functional....ie I always have to look at the screen and do some scrolling with touchscreens.

I've whipped the V Plus onto hard surfaces and it's still going.
 
it seems creatives execs took their 100 million apple ipod patent settlement and blew it on hookers and blow.
 
I have a Zen Microphoto that just dies. It was a POS the whole time I had it. Always locking up and needing to go into recovery mode. Can't even turn it on/start recovery mode now.

I am looking to stay away from Creative and either go with the ipod touch or the Zune HD. Need to go look at them.

I'm loving my Zune HD. It's actually a lot easier to use one handed than my Vision:M. The Zune is the best media device with a focus on music. The ipod touch is the best media device with a focus on apps and games.
