Smooth UI PLEASE
3. Screen resolution?

$230 for 32gb + microSD is a really nice offer but I want a fast UI as well. It manages to move from image to image much faster than it moves screens in the menu, so there's still hope.

4. Remote control?]]>Sep 2nd 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/
That was my main gripe with the X-Fi as well, but apparently that's been fixed in this version.]]>Sep 2nd 2009 11:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/Sep 2nd 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/Sep 2nd 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/Sep 2nd 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/Sep 2nd 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/
OH, yeah, aside from the pricing, which isn't too bad, this thing is full of well, I hate to say it, Fail.

Yes, because Apple totally invented the touchscreen and touch interface MP3 players. ]]>Sep 2nd 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/Sep 2nd 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/

As @BigD145 said early on in the comments, "Looks like an iPhone with a skin."

Every article regarding a PMP/Internet tablet/Netbook/blah blah is getting compared to iPhones.

i have a 32 gb zen xfi with wifi support and absolutely *HATE* it.
worst mp3 player i've ever owned. i dont feel like ranting into the number of reasons why i think it is a crappy player...
i'm never going back to creative...

the included headphones were OK..i guess thats a plus? lol]]>Sep 2nd 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/
2nd - One would certainly hope that they fully integrate the expansion slot this time.

3rd - Nice to have another player with wide-ranging audio/video codec support.

4th - I'd wager that Fry's Electronics will be selling the 32gb for well under 200.00 US by the 09 Holiday Season.

Cool is that there is big screen.

Probably people will love this player, but for people who are used to generally listen music and switch between songs without looking on player, will not be happy to use this kind of players.

It's only my opinion...]]>Sep 2nd 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/
You've apparently not experienced the Sony X-Series' touch screen which is (arguably) the fastest, most responsive yet implemented on a DAP/PMP, it's a pleasure to use, and if one does feel the need for hardware controls, they're right there on the top of the player.

After seeing the Zune HD in action, I'd also place the player very high on the list of the very best touch screen players.

Ultimately, it boils down to what you prefer... though I don't believe that Touchscreens are going anywhere anytime soon.]]>Sep 2nd 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/Sep 2nd 2009 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/creative-announces-zen-x-fi2-touchscreen-pmp-video/
It merely a development platform for the Zii technology, though it is very well-made, and the features that have been implemented thus far are very good - especially the outstanding sound quality.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Android for my ZiiEGG so that I can really cut loose on developing some interesting Education related apps.
