This razor sharp display is packaged in a device that weighs just 2.1 ounces and measures 3.26 x 2.16 x .44 inches (W x H x D). The internal battery powers the Zen for up to 25 hours of continuous audio playback and up to five hours of continuous video playback. Use the Zen's SD slot to expand your portable media library with music, photos and videos stored on your SD card. There's also a handy built-in microphone for capturing notes on the go.

Features
Load up up your favorite songs, as well as your album art, and get going with the Zen. The device supports iTunes Plus tracks from the iTunes store and MP3 and WMA tracks. Subscription and pay-per-download music services are supported, as well. Discover, save, and play millions of songs when subscribing to services such as Yahoo Music Unlimited and Napster To Go. You can even tune into your favorite stations with the Zen's FM radio. The radio allows you to save up to 34 presets.

The Zen has you covered when it comes to video, too. The device supports MJPEG, WMV9 and--with transcoding--MPEG1 and 2, MPEG4-SP, DivX 4 and 5, and XviD. Enjoy purchased movies and TV shows from online services, such as Amazon Unbox and Walmart.com. Watch home videos. Even load your Tivo To Go movies and TV shows onto your Zen.

Additional features include a clock and alarm function, volume restriction, eight equalizer settings, and a USB hard drive mode, which allows you to drag and drop files directly to and from your Zen. The Zen can also function as a handy organizer, allowing you to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook and display your contacts, calendar, and tasks.

5 out of 5 stars My delight in my zen   August 28, 2008
WOW what a great product. I had originally purchased another product which I had to return. This is the greatest gadget. I can download movies and music. I have stored pictures and files. I absolutely love this product.


4 out of 5 stars Stands up to a toddler!   August 28, 2008
I originally bought this for myself right after they came out in fall 2007. I put a few of my toddler's videos on it to keep him busy for a long trip and he just loved it so much that I had to give it up. In the meantime I've tested out an iPod nano and two different smartphones to watch video on, but I just can't find anything I like better than the Zen so I'm ordering another for myself.

Pros: Lightweight, tough--has stood up to my son using almost daily between his first and second birthdays, very good interface, able to use on Linux with software from the internet, great picture, FLASH CARD EXPANDABILITY (this was my big draw to begin with).

Cons: Screen scratches pretty easily, which is why my toddler gets to keep the one he's been using. Creative's screen protectors are perfect though and I can't recommend enough to buy one to be delivered with your Zen.

I am very pleased with this item because of it's easy of use as well as meets all my needs!


4 out of 5 stars Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player   August 27, 2008
I just purchased Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player at Walmart. I thought I would give it a 15 days trial if I decide to keep it. If they put Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player sound into this player, it would create an ultimate mp3 player. I really like the design of the Zen. However, if you are into the best sounds, go with Sony. You won't ever regret !


1 out of 5 stars Worst Customer Service - Non existant   August 20, 2008
  0 out of 3 found this review helpful

This was my fourth Creative player that I have purchased, 2 - Muvo 256 kb, Vision M and now this Zen 4gb. This will be the last not because of the product functionality but the frustrating lack of customer service support for issues.

I charged the battery for 6 plus hours before loading as per instructions and found the battery only lasting 2-3 hours just listening to audiobooks, no videos. OK, I tried calling Support and found the only way to contact Creative is through a convoluted knowledge base and finally an email. After a frustrating barrage of emails sending me to redundant knowledge base documents and finally a firmware upgrade and reset. The battery life has not improved and an RMA link was issued. Instead of providing a completed RMA to me, I was sent to a link to manually create the RMA with the same information that I had entered before.

I like the product but will not put up with the lack of support again.
