Creative taking pre-orders on their Zen Touch MP3 player

Right at the same time as the announcement of a brand new iPod is probably just about the worst time you could ask for your new MP3 player to go on sale, but Creative has started taking pre-orders on their new 20GB Zen Touch. The Zen Touch has the distinction of being the first MP3 player with a linear-style touchpad controller, a battery life of 24 hours, and the smallest and lightest player in Creative's burgeoning Zen series.
