Creative unveils MuVo T200, little else

Creative's exhaustive line-up of DAPs just took on another with this, their MuVo T200. Their second CES launch and an update to their T100 still packs 2GB or 4GB of storage with the addition of a display, FM radio, and voice recorder. Priced at $59 and $79, they'll surely find their ways into the pockets of the faithful. However, we're pretty sure a few of you are disappointed by Creative's CES showing thus far.

I was expecting a 3.5 inch version of the Creative Zen that I like so much in the 2.5" size but I feel is too small to buy.

That would beat out the iPod Touch in size, 32GB as well as codec support.

Damn you, Creative.

nah, 2.5" is fine
you get a screen that's the same size and better quality compared to the iPod Classic, all in a form factor similar to the nano
what they needed to do is get Xvid support back

also, I was hoping for more Harddrive players, I know everyone's moving for flash, but is it too much to ask for a new high capacity player that affordable

My Zen Vision:M has seen two iPod and Zune generations. It looks and feels a tad rusty - come on, Creative!

what! no speaker?

[JOEJOESMITH @ Jan 8th 2008 2:39PM]

i wish they had a version of the m, full touch screen, 30-60 gigs, 300-400 dollars, is that too much to ask, they have been faling off for a while, other players are gaining on them. getting harder to stay on board, i hope they drop a big bomb before this is over! PLEASE

I find it funny when people complain about any other features a player like this could never possibly have.

And... CREATIVE... why did you not release your ZEN, your ZEN Stone, your ZEN Stone Plus, your ZEN Wav, and your MuVo T100, all at once, at CES? You know CNET, as dumb and anti-Appleish they are, would always give you that coveted Audio & MP3 Players (((dumb name too, it's PMPs now. We should all focus on the photo, video, WiFi, audiobook, e-book, radio, microphone, notes, organizer, etc. aspects. Thank God the iView (glasses that display your videos... big!) made a formidable appearance.))) award. Last year, if Creative announced the ZEN V Plus or the ZEN Vision W at CES, one of them would win the 4th consecutive award. Instead, it went to the overrated and overhyped Sansa Connect.


There is a breakthrough, though... the T200 is the just the second MuVo to have a colour display, and that all too familiar interface is in colour! One word: MEH. As a Singaporean myself, I would demand the firing of Creative's marketing and PR agencies. "Find your ZEN"? So many puns. And very ineffective.
