Here is the mystery player that was rumored a few days ago. The Vision:M is slated for a mid December release in Japan and will sell for the American equivalent of $330. In addition to all of the typical features, this hand held PMP will sport a 320 x 240 pixel 262k color LCD screen with video playback support for MP4, DivX, XviD, MPEG2, MPEG1, and Motion JPEG. Video playback battery time will last up to 4 hours and 11 hours for audio playback. Optional available accessories will include docking station, video cable, leather pouch, and wired remote.

When will it be released to the US? Hopefully Creative will get it to the US sooner than later. Too bad they missed the Christmas purchasing frenzy.

DAMN that shit is thick, 19mm, thats a lot, its also heavy, but i would still consider getting it, hopefully it will come out soon, i have to decide if i want to keep my mpio one or return it.

19mm isnt thick. And it weighs about as much as the 4G ipod, surely the millions of brainwashed losers who bought that peice of crap didnt think it was heavy?

I want one so bad. This thing will put a serious dent in apple/ipod; it's way superior. You should (if you haven't already) check out some pictures comparing its video/photo viewing to the ipod video. The Zen comes out on top.

It's a total ripoff of the ipod. Even the photography is a total ripoff.

According to the many people that I know who work in my local BestBuy, the only time people buy creative players is when they run out of ipods! LOL

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    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
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

    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 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.
