Anything But iPod has an in-depth review of iPod's newest competitor - the Creative Zen Vision: M.
Pros
The Zen Vision:M is an impressive personal media player. It is well deserving of the Best of Show and Best Portable Audio & Video device awards it recently won at 2006 CES. The greatest appeal of the Vision:M is its ability to playback the majority of popular video files (especially DivX and XviD), which saves you a lot of time by not having to convert all of your video. Audio and video is top notch on the player as well as on the TV. The battery allows you to get in a full movie or two while on the go. Even though the user interface can be a bit slow at times it is still extremely easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a hard drive based digital audio player. The Zen Vision:M is everything the video iPod is and then some.
Cons
I have one major problem with the Zen Vision:M. It is not the proprietary dock connection, nor is it the non-removable battery.

"Probably the first question people ask when reading this review is whether the Creative Zen Vision:M has a better screen than the video iPod. After all, Mr. Hoo should have already dissected the Apple's, and came up with countermeasures before hitting back. Putting the video iPod next the Zen, the Creative seems to take the lead with the colors on the 2.5â? QVGA screen being very vivid and vibrant. The LCD's contrast is excellent. There's just a bit too much color saturation than necessary, causing some finer details to wash away."

On heels of releasing a new iPod clone - Zen Vision: M, Creative boss Sim Wong Hoo told the BBC he plans to "pursue aggressively" a US patent it owns on a system used to navigate music on digital players. Creative was one of the first to market digital music players in 2000, but has since been overshadowed by Apple. This little fact apparently eats Sim and he wants the world know it.
"We will pursue all manufacturers that use the same navigation system," said Mr Sim. "This is something we will pursue aggressively.
"Hopefully this will be friendly, but people have to respect intellectual property."
The similarly styled and priced device will compete directly with Apple Computer's video iPod for a spot on every technophile's holiday wish list. Creative plans to put the Vision:M up for sale this month, and with less than three weeks left in the shopping season, that makes the device a tough sell reports Forbes.
"They're extremely late," says Tim Bajarin, analyst with market research firm Creative Strategies, which is unaffiliated with Creative. "In this stage of the game, I'm skeptical this product will give them enough revenue to impact the bottom line for their next quarter."
Mr Sim denied the company had copied Apple's design, saying it had been working on the look for more than a year.
Creative are touting the Zen as a far more powerful player than Apple's offering, with additional functions such as FM radio and a built-in mic reports the BBC
"We are focused on the technology," he said. "This is still a technology marketplace."
"This is the key difference between a technology company and a branding company," he said, taking a side-swipe at Apple's successful marketing campaign for its iPod.
Past Quote - CEO Sim Wong Hoo on the Apple iPod Shuffle
We're expecting a good fight but they're coming out with something that's five generations older. It's our first generation MuVo One product feature, without display, just have a (shuffle feature). We had that - that's a four-year-old product. So I think the whole industry will just laugh at it, because the flash people - it's worse than the cheapest Chinese player. Even the cheap, cheap Chinese brand today has display and has FM. They don't have this kind of thing, and they expect to come out with a fight; I think it's a non-starter to begin with.

ScottPercy reviews the Zen Sleek.
Overall Creative seem to have produced a player worthy of their own MP3 heritage, it perhaps could have done with a color screen but its pitched quite squarely at a price bracket with all the big boys, 199 Euro will buy you a Zen Sleek and you will be one of the few who are not slaves to their iPod.
