Creative ZEN X-Fi release

Just arrived on the market in Asia and worldwide, here you are the Zen X-Fi from Creative. Our new PMP is available in 3 different flavor with either 8, 16 or 32GB, but only the 16 and 32GB ones will feature a Wireless Lan module.Not only our little beast kinda looking good, but the X-Fi is also pretty small 83x55x12.8mm for just 68.75g and receive a 2.5” QVGA Screen.Now obviously our X-Fi support MP3, WMA and AAC audio files but also WMV, MPEG-4 SP/XviD and motion Jpeg Video.Finally like many PMP on the market the X-Fi has a FM Radio Tuner and a voice recorder.

The Creative ZEN X-Fi and Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN provide a breakthrough in sound quality for MP3, WMA and unprotected iTunes music with the X-Fi Crystalizer®, a proprietary audio technology developed at Creative's Advanced Technology Center that restores the highs and lows to music during playback that were lost during the ripping to MP3, WMA or AAC formats. This allows you to listen to your music at a higher quality than was previously possible on any MP3 player.

The Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN introduces a new way to experience music in your home. The Creative ZEN X-Fi's Wireless LAN capability enables you to wirelessly stream and download music from your PC to your player over your wireless home network, and playback in X-Fi audio quality. From the living room to the bedroom, the Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN can access the music on your home PC, which can be played through the built-in speaker, a home speaker system, or even the Creative ZEN X-Fi Docking Speaker System accessory, which provides room-filling X-Fi audio quality in a portable speaker. You can also stream and download your video files in supported formats and your photos directly to your Creative ZEN X-Fi with Wireless LAN from your PC. In addition, you can stream a variety of ZENcast and podcast channels to the player.
