Creative introduces toned-down ZEN Mozaic EZ300 PMP
We're not quite sure what all was wrong with the original ZEN Mozaic (Mosaic?), but evidently it demonstrated just a bit too much Mondrian. This go 'round, the ZEN Mozaic EZ300 ditches the hodgepodge of button colors and sticks strictly to pink or black, though most everything else remains the same. There's a 1.8-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, 4GB or 8GB of internal capacity, up to 32 hours of audio playback, MP3 / WMA / WAV / JPEG file support, an FM radio tuner, a five-band custom equalizer and USB 2.0 connectivity. It's available now for US and UK customers for $59.99 (4GB) / $79.99 (8GB). One more (big) look after the break.

Hey!
The new PSP isn't so ugly anymore...
Neither is Your Mom now!
I wonder how you got that name "Goo man" perhaps it had to do with your mom and some "goo"
AHAHAAHHA!!!
Anyway troll aside I see that Creative is not so creative, they still rehashing this shite design?
WTF I dont have time to let my eyes adjust just to skip to the next song nubbas!!!
Next time take a cue from Apple and simplify MAN!!!! you nubz at creative are living in the 60's man!
The button layout is kind of unattractive. I don't like the stripes on the right side. But I guess the price is pretty good.
funny, I was just about to say the same thing about your mom...
Funny, as I was going to say that your Mom "manifests" the liking of a town whore!
AAHAHAHAH!!
eww pass
Creative = Cancer in Customer Support.
Never going to buy anything from this company, not that I was planning or bought anything from them since the Vista drivers incident anyway.
Alright, thats it. Im a huge Creative fan but this really isnt the direction in which they should be heading.
Whats sad is that the design is the easiest part when it comes to releasing a new product. The price is great, radio's great, sound quality's great...
So what the hell Creative?
theyre being realy devious and clever; lying low for a while whilst developing a product that will blow your MIND. obviously theyve got to release some rubbish to make it seem even better. like palm did before the pre
still horrid.
go away creative. the battle is over for you.
Who is buying this stuff? The market for sub 16 gb players has to be drying up and soon that will reach the 32 gb market. It makes more sense to get a decent feature phone with a Mirco SD slot.
davids of the world unite
No Kidding. I need to get an avatar.
you do that dave
Get a PSP Go!
Oh and....
These are the Dave's I know I know these are the Dave's I know.....
actual two of my kidds have the and love them
but not every has or wants a smart phone not to mention there no way in hell i buying my kids an iphone or pre or any other phone then pay a data plan for them just they can have and mp3 player i lovemy kids but they get prepaid phones and stand alone players and when they piss me off i take the phone away it not coasting me every month for them not using it and when they break there mp3 player it dont coast 200 bucke to replace it either
see this y my kids do so well in school if they fail a class no min for your phone forget to take out garbage no min for phone
if u got a contract phone them kids no your going to give it them cuz u got pay for it
YoYo it doesn't have to be pre or an iPhone. Take the LG shine, Moto Razr, or a sony walkman phone, lg xenon, lg vu, samsung eternity etc. Some of these phones are free or under $50 on contract I prefer the convenience of carring fewer devices.
I was a big fan of creative but they're dying. First the vista drivers now the lack of super PMPs Creative seem to be moving backwards while everyone is moving forward.
Apparently, in Singapore, the word "zen" means "missed opportunities".
This just goes to show that you can't fix ugly. Or stupid.
Hey its a price item. Plain and simple.
Creative can do great things with sound cards and speakers. MP3 are just that nothing great.
That design makes it look like there is buttons missing, gutted for them.
Creative Labs, a company that ironically thinks backwards

They're getting ready to launch some bigass product containing the Zii chip. http://www.engadget.com/tag/zii/
Why was THIS announced and not the Aurvana Air in-ears!?
Stupid internets.
Fail.
I just bought a 16GB Mozaic last week and so far love it. My iPod video bit the dust after just under three years, so I wasn't going to buy anything Apple. Sure, it's no iPod, but it holds my music, plays it, has an FM radio, and sounds good. Two thumbs up from me.
Plus, it works in Linux.
They had better be going somewhere with the Zii chip. I mean, where's the company that built my sound card and my old Zen Vision:M?
Are they content with spending their last few months as a company building MP3 players that look like cows, and twatting around with drivers?
Why does it look like a mobile phone?!
I'mk actually ashamed to be from the same country as CREATIVE. Gosh! Mr Sims, learn! Please LEARN from mistakes, not listen to those stupid yes-men!
Just die already Creative.
This looks like it should be a phone
God thats awful. Way too many buttons for a start.
iriver?
