choosing a name where the first two and a half pages of google results are already taken by somebody with a product that uses the terminology you're trying to counter (podcast) is probably not the brightest idea.]]>Jan 4th 2006 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/ subscribe to podcast => enter the url.)]]>Jan 4th 2006 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 4th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 4th 2006 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 4th 2006 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 4th 2006 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 4th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 4th 2006 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/


The podcast name is not Apple's idea at all - they are just not unhappy to use it :-)



I wonder what Sim Wong Hoo says when he wants an apple to eat - I would like a creative?]]>Jan 4th 2006 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/


Back in the day my PMP300 would play stuff from http://www.retrogamingradio.com/ way before Apple fanatics decided to give credit to Steve Jobs et al.



All Creative are doing is giving their customers something to use with their players seeing as iPod owners have begun to believe the rumours that Steve Jobs invented the wheel, the lightbulb, the computer, the internet . . . . . . . . . .

[crikets chirp]



Maybe they're all on some forum raving about Creative's announcements--or, they're making [or...um...renaming] their ZenCasts as we speak.

If you actually used ZenCast you would know that you don't the Vision:m or the Vision and they aren't all videocasts. Anyways I have no problem with mediasource and it integrated nicely with my Zen micro and my audigy soundcard. Zen Cast has a very clean interface and its intuitive, good job Creative. I'll look forward to using the video casts when I go to get my Zen Vision:m. BTW, Creative isn't copying Apple, you want to know why Apple isn't sueing Creative? Because if they *tried Creative would counter sue the shi*t out of them (Apple copied Creatives UI). Also if you know anything about design, it took more than just a couple months to come up with a creation like the VIsion:m, don't be hating because the Ipod 5g is inferrior to it :)]]>Jan 4th 2006 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/Jan 5th 2006 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/04/creatives-zencast-podcast-solution/


Create one playlist until you get reach your iTunes? I'm confused. Are you talking about On the Go style playlists? iPod lets to you create one. Radio? Why in gods name do you want a radio on a portable HDD player? Radios are OBSOLETE. You have no control over what's played. The point of a portable media player is that YOU are in control of your media. Not someone else. So putting a radio in the unit is taking a step backwards in my opinion.



As for innovation... Who cares really. The only real claim to fame any company has is that Apple made them mainstream will great marketing, and a solid product. All this who did who debate is not worth it in the end. Who gives a hoot who created or innovated it? It benefits EVERYONE in the end since it drives competition and gives you the consumer more options.



Don't hate on Creative or Apple. They both have strong and weak-points, and both offer products that you might like or not like. You're entitled to your own opinions. This internet commando hatred BS is annoying and tiresome. It's time to evolve away from the keyboard hater and move into the adult phase of internet usage... ]]>Jan 5th 2006 1:37PM
