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.

I call fake, here's why:
Look at the second photo -
1) Look at the level of pixelation around the outer edge of the device, and particularly around the bottom edge and thumbs. There's quite a significant amount of noticable pixelation in the image.
2) Compare that to the pixelation between the video on the screen and the black bezel. Almost no pixelation, very clean anti-aliased lines. Almost as if the video image was overlayed in some extremely powerful image editing software... like say, Photoshop?
Hey you're ruining it for the rest of us... ill still buy one
I wonder what the text says on the side in the second pic. Anyone with some photoshop skill think they can clean it up and zoom in to make it at least a little legible?
Coincidence http://i16.tinypic.com/6utlnuq.jpg and http://i1.tinypic.com/6uh44e9.jpg
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.
looks good=)
its fake

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.
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.
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
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
