MuVo Vidz is Just a Rebranded Sorell SF-3500

Creative

The MuVo Vidz is nothing more than a Sorell SF-3500 with Creative’s name on it as DAPreview points out. The player is appearing on Creative’s worldwide website which states that it has an OLED display, plays MPEG-4, and will come in 512MB and 1GB.

I think that it is a very poor move on Creative’s part to release a rebranded player, which weakens and dilutes their brand name by flooding their own product line with whatever they feel like at the moment. Why didn’t they just add video support to their upcoming Zen Micro Photo?

I'm looking for a dpa just like this only with a usb slider. There is the Rio SU70/M-Cody MX-100 (loving the IR remote idea) but I can't find it in Canada or the USA.
Know of anything?

SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Samsung P3

The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update.

Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
