Zen Crystal: Another PMP from Creative

Recently, Creative has released its latest Portable Media Player (PMP), the Zen X-Fi. Believe it or not, Creative has already rolled out another PMP with the Zen Krystal.

The Zen Krystal looks like the Zen Stone Plus with Display, but has a more rectangular look. It appears to only be available with 4GB worth of memory, which is enough for about 2,000 songs. Songs and other audio files are easily downloaded with the drag and drop function with no drivers to install.

In addition to its 10 hour battery life, the Zen Krystal has a lot of other nifty features like a voice recorder and a radio with 32 preset stations. It even has some nifty motion-sensitive games programmed on it like, Catch & Dodge, Dice Roll and Hurdle Race.

It appears that the Zen Krystal is targeted for the sports and fitness crowd. It has a pedometer built-in, which is a first for Creative. It allows you to track your calories burnt, and you can use the stopwatch for your workout with the included bundled wrist strap.

Creative Zen X-Fi: The Sound of Perfection

The portable media player (PMP) market just got a little more crowded, because today Creative finally unveiled their latest PMP - the Creative Zen X-Fi. Named after Creative's X-Fi audio technology and boasting features such as X-Fi quality audio, Wi-Fi, an integrated messaging client and built-in media streaming, the X-Fi is sure to give its competitors a run for its money.

Targeted at audiophiles, the key feature of the X-Fi is the inclusion of the X-Fi audio settings "Crystalizer" and "Expand". According to Creative, activating the Crystalizer setting will restore audio details that were lost during compression, thus making the track sound richer, clearer and closer to its original quality (which is exactly the same function of the Crystalizer feature in the X-Fi sound cards. On the other hand, "Expand" gives audio a natural and realistic feel by shifting the sound away from your ears and then repositioning it in front of you, so that you feel as if you were listening to a live performance.

Creative also talked a little bit about the Zen X-Fi's integrated messaging client. It said that it will support both Windows Live and Yahoo! Messenger networks and input will be via the nine buttons by the side, using what, we suspect, will be a phone-like schema. Additionally, Creative also mentioned that this new Zen will come with built-in microphone as well as speakers. To sweeten the deal, they are also bundling in a pair of premium noise-canceling earphones. Audiophiles rejoice!

In terms of its physical dimensions, fans will be delighted to know that the X-Fi is no bigger than the standard Zen (i.e., the size of a credit card). As for capacity, the X-Fi will come in 32GB, 16GB and 8GB models. However, do note that the 8GB model doesn't come with Wi-Fi capability.

On that note, eager beavers will be glad to know that both 32GB and 16GB models of the Zen X-Fi are available as of now, while those stuck with a lower budget will have to wait till the end of the month for the more affordable 8GB model. There's also a special limited edition Red Cliff version during this period for the premium collectors out there.
