Thank goodness for competition! Warm on the heels of its adversaries' high-capacity flash player offerings, Creative announced last week that the Zen V Plus (ZVP) is now a member of the previously exclusive 8GB club. Rubbing elbows with the Sansa e280 and new iPod Nano, the 8GB ZVP will come in glossy black with a red accent when it hits retail stores in Singapore this month for S$429 (about $270). And if red isn't your color, the Creative Online Store is currently selling a blue-accented exclusive version of the player for the same fistful of Singapore dollars.

Pricing and availability in other parts of the world are currently unknown, but rest assured that it is coming to the United States...eventually.

More competition in the 8GB range is always welcome.... it really is a tiny player... though I think iRiver has just broken the Lilliputian barrier with their new itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny.....

This is old news. I appreciate this site, I really do, but recent posts have been about a week later than when the news hits other sites. You need to stay relevant to survive, and the dearth of new reviews, feature articles and being late to providing breaking news just isn't cutting it.

Sorry guys for the slow news recently. Up untill recenly it has been only myself running the site so it has been hard, dealing with a full time job and a personal life, ect... however, Jenn from pocketables.net has joined me in the last few months and she has been great. But i have not been pulling my weight recently.

The site will be going though a transition for the better within the next month. You can expect up-to-date news, exclusives, and more reviews in the next few weeks from Jenn and myslef.

Thank you all for reading...

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
