Creative Gets Cinematic with Flash MuVo Vidz

Following the success of their Zen Vision, Creative just increased their lead over the competition today with the introduction of the MuVo Vidz, Creative's first flash-based portable media player. Available in 512MB and 1GB capacities, the 33-gram player is equipped with an 1.18", 65K color Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display to conserve power, allowing for a whopping 10-hour battery life.

Under the hood the MuVo Vidz supports WMA, MP3, and JPG media, along with MPEG4 video transferred over the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection. Users can also capture music on-the-go with the player's integrated FM tuner, microphone and line-in port. The M3U support makes playlist integration with Winamp and Windows Media Player a snap. Both models will be available next month for $259 and $349 each.

With such configuration and price, the MuVo Vidz will go head-on with Samsung YP-T8.
