Creative Zen Mosaic DAP is Art Inspired and Way Cool

Creative is one of the top DAP makers in the world behind (way behind) Apple with its world beating iPod line. We have never looked at a Creative player and thought, wow this looks cool. The ZEN X-Fi is boxy and rather ugly and the simplistic Zen Krystal is nothing overly spectacular to our eyes. This week, Creative Zen Mosaic comes along, and shows us they can be creative after all.

The Creative ZEN Mosaic can play music and videos as well as display photos. The device comes in pink, black and silver colors and all three share the same mosaic design for the controls with different hues and colors alternating on the keys. The pricing for the Mosaic is decent with the 2GB version going for $99.99 and a 4GB model selling $129. The player weighs 43g, measures 79.5 x 40 x 12.8mm, and promises up to 32 hours of continuous playback on one charge. The screen is a smallish 1.8" TFT LCD, but at least the Mosaic has a built-in speaker on the back.
