- Good, but controls are awful

...what was Creative thinking about when it designed the controls for the unit; not just to say they are invisible in the dark, it is hard to operate them in general - why are they so small?!.

The WiFi function is not that important - I would not even offer one and keep the price lower, or instead invest in supporting DivX playback

- love it
I've had this player for several months now and I love it! It goes with me everywhere. I bought it to replace my old Zen Vision M and I'm not disappointed.
It a great size and weight and it's also pretty. Battery life is not bad. I've found the external speaker to be far more useful than I had ever imagined it would be. The overall device sound quality is Excellent. the head phones are nice even though I keep losing the little silicone tips/buds. the player should have come with a 100 pack of replacement ...
