Creative showcased this Zen Mosaic MP3 Player on their booth during IFA 2008 event. No detail about its price though.

If you own a video blog, you might want to carry this little, lightweight pocket video camcorder with you — Vado. Showcased by Creative during IFA 2008 in Germany, the device is so compact that it can esily fit your shirt purse. It weighs less than 90g too, you won’t even feel it when you slip it on your pocket. Inside the Vado, one can find a 2GB of built-in memory, along with a removable, rechargeable battery. On the outside, a nice silver or hot pink case would greet you.

Creative showcased its wonderful PMP, ZEN X-Fi, during IFA 2008. We’ve mentioned about this device earlier, so let’s just recap it for now. Featuring an award-winning Creative Xtreme Fidelity X-FI audio technology, ZEN X-Fi incorporates X-FI Crystalizer, the company’s proprietary audio technology that restores during playback the highs and lows that are lost when music is ripped to MP3, WMA, or AAC formats. It plays MP3, WMA and unprotected iTunes audio; and you can even access your song collection that is stored on your PC, thanks to its built-in WiFI connection. Moreover, users can also stream or download photos and video files in supported formats directly to the player.

The new portable media player from Creative looks perfect for accompanying your summer holiday. Called “ZEN Mosaic“, the PMP device offers a 1.8-inch display, a built-in speaker, integrated FM tuner, and up to 32 hours of playback. It can play various popular audio and video formats, including MP3, WMA, WAV, and AVI. And if you wonder how many files you can store inside, well, ZEN Mossaic is available in three different capacity variants (2GB, 4GB, and 8GB), all capable of keeping thousand of MP3s.

Creative ZEN Mossaic PMP will hit the store in early August with a price tag of €80 (about $125).

The new wireless-ready PMP from Creative, Zen X-FI, would make John Woo’s and Tony Leung’s fans drooling as it packs with a limited edition of Red Cliff movie. Customers can then watch the movie on its 2.5-inch display and enjoy cinema-like environment through TravelSound Zen X-Fi Docking Speaker System which unfortunately seems to be available separately. Back to the device, it sports a built-in FM radio tuner, a voice recorder, onboard speaker, and both Yahoo and MSN instant messaging clients.

Available in three capacity variants (8GB, 16GB, and 32GB), Creative Zen X-Fi PMP is bundled with a pair of EP-380 earphone and Creative X-Fi Crystalizer technology. The price is set at $145, $209, and $254 respectively.

Creative is going to release “ZN-Z32G-BK”, a credit card-sized portable MP3 player, in Japan market with a price tag of 39,800 Yen. This device is so slim that you can even place it on your wallet. However, its small size doesn’t mean small capacity. Inside, you can store up to 32GB of music, or about 8,000 of your favourite songs. I supposed it’d play all of those popular audio formats, such as WAV and MP3.

Two new models have been added by Creative Japan onto its Zen Vision PMP’s troop. The Zen Vision M and W both offer a slim body (15% slimmer than the previous generation) and a generous 60GB of internal hard drive. Able to playback various kinds of popular media formats, including picture, audio, and movie; the Zen Vision M comes in a hood that measures 62 x 14 x 19 mm nd weighs 170 grams, while the W model is kept inside a 280 grams device which has a dimension of 134 x 75 x 22 mm.
