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...

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

    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 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.

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
