Review by PC Magazine
Creative has literally expanded its Zen Vision line with the new Zen Vision:W portable media player: the W stands for widescreen. Unfortunately, the player isn’t particularly sleek, and its audio battery life is shorter than it should be for a device this size. Still, at $299.99 (direct) for the 30GB model (or $399.99 for the 60GB model), there’s enough to like about the ZVW. The one thing that could have put this product over the top, however, would have been an optional video-recording feature along the lines of the Archos 604 and its optional DVR docking station.

Look around. There’re plenty of people who seem to be perfectly content with watching videos on their too-tiny screens. Mobile phones and miniature flash-based MP3 players are the general causes of squinty eyes. But take a look at dedicated video players like the monstrous Archos AV700 with the 7-inch screen and things assume a new perspective.

The Zen Vision:W quickly brings Creative up to speed in the blossoming world of portable video. And how could it not, with its splendid 4.3-inch wide-screen display, intuitive control set, removable battery, and CompactFlash slot? Bulkier than the aging Zen Vision, this aggressively-priced 30GB ($299.99) or 60GB ($399.99) portable video player definitely marches to its own beat, forgoing the DVR functionality that makes the Archos 04 series and Cowon A2 so special. But with more sources of compatible video content becoming available via online stores and TiVo, should we care?
