Creative Zen 20 GB Portable Media Center
Uninspired, bulky, and inelegant personal media center (PMC).
PMC = Perfectly Mediocre Cr@p
PMC = Performs Miserably Completely
PMC = Petty Market Capture
PMC = Probably Microsoft’s Coffin

The problem for this kind of product is that there is virtually no content to use teh video function of the player. This unit is too large for real world use and is uncomfortable to carry. The worst part of this mess is the fact that it uses Windows media player as its base. WIndows is probably the worst way to use any media and it is what will probably doom this player to failure. A player such as iPod is so much better suited to let you enjoy your photos or music. Apple’s iPod is intuitive which is why its such a better player than ones like this that use the horrible Windows media center software. If you have 500 bucks to waste on a player that isnt intuitive and that has the comfort factor of carrying a bread box in your pocket this is the player for you. If not, perhaps a far batter choice would be the Apple iPod 40 gb Photo model.

This device is usless!
I bought one and the battery life is only 1 hour.
The sound quality is lousy and it only has a small hard drive, so you can’t even store alot of video on it! The windows OS installed is very buggy to say the least and it seems to slow down when video is played on it!
My advice is buy an ipod or wait until APPLE comes up with a better, cheaper, easier to use and more intuitive PMC!
I can’t even sell it on Ebay at a loss – no one wants one!!!

Since i saw my cousins i was really jealous, but now i wish i hadnt been. it does everything it is supposed to really well, but theres just not that much to do with it. It Does Not fit in my pockets, unless i take my leg off, and it is Really expensive. But still its not an ipod, so i used if for a good cause.

this is one of the best products of the year
i had no idea how good the video quality would be, i dont know what that chinese guy was talking about, this thing is just a little bigger than an ipod, and it easily fits in pockets
ive been putting all kinds of songs and movies on, and ive only used 7 or 8 gigabytes
its definetley worth the money
