Creative Neeon Goes Flash

November 17th, 2005

WE RECOMMEND

Sometimes you gotta give credit to Creative for all its design creativity; though, the similarities between them have us wonder why bother with all the design cost. Anyway, Creative has added several more models today with the debut of flash-based Zen Neeon.

Until today, Zen Neeon only has the 5GB, and now, you can can choose from 3 more capacities: 512MB, 1GB & 2GB. The new flash-based players have the same dimensions as the 5GB but weigh 20g less at 55g. The battery also got a boost to 32 hours. The screen's also changed to duo-tone OLED in bold blue and yellow, but don't expect the 3-line display to do album art. You'll need the Zen Micro Photo for photo viewing.

Besides the usual, expect to find FM radio/recorder, direct line-in recording and voice recorder too. Oh last thing, you can personalize the player with color backplates if that's anything important to you.
