We've seen plenty of cheap plastic MP3
land-fillers in our day. But those usually originate from deep-down within the fetid bowels of some no-name manufacturing house in southeast Asia, not the once illustrious Creative. The Zen Moo (yes, Moo) appears to be be a
Zen Stone with extra bits of plastic and paint added to achieve Cow. Like the Stone, you get a small OLED, 2GB of memory, 20 hours of playback, and FM tuner to the delight of kids across China (where the Zen Moo was announced) -- hey, it's never too early to
destroy a child's hearing. Gift-wrapped product waifs holding the accompanying speaker accessory after the break.
Update: Seems the Zen Moo is a tribute to the 2009 Chinese New Year, year of the plastic cow.

i'm waiting for creative to make the zen baaaahhh...
it'll be perfect for my velcro gloves!
just wait til Apple intros the "iMoo" at Macworld! it only costs $199 for 1gb!
Come on, let's be realistic.
The cheapest Apple player is 49 bucks with 1 GB memory.
But it doesn't look like a cow!
mooooo.....
one word: cute.
second thought: how about ipod to be shaped like this.... errrrrrrr..... it screwed up my mind...
Why the speakers aren't based on udders, I don't know.
Because they would sound /udderly/ terrible!
What?
You were all thinking it as well!
*grabs coat & leaves*
Milking it a bit there.
With jokes like that I would have thought you were grazed in a barn.
Pull the udder one.
Hoof it.
Don't have a cow.
I'll take the one on the right.
Dude, she has man-brows and wrinkles. Seriously?
Man-brows and wrinkles?
Ghen, you are posting on techie messageboard, you can't possibly be that superficial (or good-looking) to say that you WOULDN'T a hot Asian model; get outta' here with that nonsense. Forget the useless MP3 player, more hot Asian-girl talk.
On the right?
one in the center ftw
The OP was picking his favorite, I was pointing out flaws in that choice. Where's the faulty logic? This is the internet, no one agrees and no one ever gets to do the hot models.. just fun to bs.
Do they look like bridesmaids or is that just me?
This is almost as bad as Olympus's Disney addition.
Oh my...
LOL
Creative is no match for a fruit company player.
it'll be awesome if this product takes off once it captures the kitschy-loving nature of asia and becomes creative's best selling product of all time
I almost spit my coke out laughing at this.....
It's news postings like this that remind me why I read Engadget. Love the humor guys, keep it up.
Somebody didn't eat enough fiber with their breakfast serial.
cereal*
You made me drop my donut for that one. >
D'Oh!
It all makes perfect sense!
Don't have a cow man!!
BS!!
lolololololol... Niiice.
Although I do almost want one...
If I didn't already have a low capacity player for the gym and running, I would totally buy one of these.
Sadly, I'm not kidding.
Sadly we know
Sadly I enjoy replying when none is necessary.
So if it has a virus or crash....
can we call Mad Cow Virus
Creative did it! This is the Ipod killer!
Yea when everyone starts smoking crack this will definetly sell more than the Ipod, its just a matter of time
Does this mean it is time for creative to be put out to pasture?
I couldn't help but notice the product waif in the center has the players strategically held in pastie position... (in hearty Phil Sebben voice) HA Haah! MOOBs on a chick!
Might be good for my daughter. If you like Japanese inspired art infused into style check out my coverage on Onitsuka Tiger and tokidoki

This would go along well with my cow plush toys, cow clock, cow chopsticks, etc. Very cute :D
