As is our way sometimes, we happened to stumble upon a pair of photos (read: a source sent us some pictures) claiming to be an unannounced, widescreen PMP from Creative. Kinda like a
Zen or
Vision W, but without the asymmetrical controls on the side. And yep, the
full-screen player looks to be touch-sensitive, and may or may not sport WiFi, which has been a winning combo for
several other devices that we know and love. Check out the other shot after the break.
Update: Certainly does look a lot like a
Cowon Q5 all photoshopped up, innit? Thanks Connor.

the Creative logo looks pasted in, and the USB port on one of them also. And the same one (with the dodgy USB) the picture looks way to square edged.

Wow, good find. I was just about to say it's hard to tell with the pixelation, but it seemed to lack the inner bezel of the Cowon. The picture you found pretty much seals it, tho.

afaik, the current model zen lost a good bit of functionality compared to the previous generation vision m and w models: divx/xvid native support was dropped (these files now have to be transcoded) and there's no more tv output.
it also needs to be able to handle/downmix ac3 5.1 sound since a good number of downloadable divx/xvid files use this for audio.

Have the same or better codec support than the Cowon A3 and Wifi and you got my money creative....bring it on home

I hope this is real! And I hope it is flash, like 32gb or better.

Could someone please get me in contact with the person who made this?
My friends and I made the short film whose clip is in the top one.
It's called n2¢ and we made it for a short film festival.
I'm just curious how it made it from there to here.
Thanks for your help

If this device is legit we will see more of i very soon, as w/ all of their new devices that have their photo's slipped out.

have you all NOT seen the Cowon Q5W? As stated before, WOULD be an iPod killer, but alas, no marketing.
