The Sleek Photo has been out for many months in the rest of the world, but has just arrived for sale in the States. For those of you who don’t know the Zen Sleek Photo is the Zen Sleek with an OLED screed for viewing pictures. The Sleek Photo sells for a mere $10 more than the regular sleek. Right now it is selling for $280 on Creative’s website.

We reviewed the Sleek earlier and it is a pretty good player and to add the OLED and photo support is a nice touch. However, the Sleek Photo comes several months too late. For fifty bucks more buy the Vision:M, it’s worth the extra Grant.

I bought this player last week and it puts the iPod to shame. I owned a 30gb video iPod, but this player is so much better. Creative listens to their customers. I own two other Creative Labs players and this has everything I wanted and more!

I got this player a couple weeks ago. It's great! This player is great since it cost me half of my returned Zen Vision M. But the scroll is kind of hard to use sometimes because it skips a little. The one on the Zen Vision M is easier to use.

I also can't view photos and play music at the same time, oh and no Album art support. Too bad . . . because those are really cool. I heard something that Creative might be adding these features? Anyone heard about this?

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.

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.

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.
