Agree with CKiang.
The way pple slam Zen Touch or compare Zen Touch with Ipod tells you they are strong believer of Ipod (I am not saying Ipods are not good, I love products by Apple!
). These pple think they have the best MP3 player around and none other pdt beats it. They will think it is good even if it may not be as good e.g. battery life, audio quality etc. This not only happen between Creative and Apple, it's just another competition when you have similar line of products. When a similar Zen Touch came out, all they want is to deny/slam the product even before any review is out and this is absolutely not fair! :nono:
If we are saying Zen Touch "copied" the pearl white color Ipod has, what about other products? Even furniture goes to that look now. I would rather think it will be more fair to say Apple has create the trend of white color products and the rest follow suit.
About the touch pad, Apple has a circular wheel so what's wrong when Creative came out with a touch pad? It's just how smart you are to "modify" from the existing design and makes pple think it's something innovative. Creative is consider a pionner for MP3 players since 1999 but when Apple stepped in 2001, they din catch up so now it became Creative copy Apple.
Whatever it is, Creative may not be really good but we need not bang them down like that even before there are any reviews. They have produce good audio cards and I like their speakers too, 5 years since I bought 2.1 set and they are working well. I own the first generation MuVo -> MuVo NX -> MuVo TX FM and I am happy with it.
Any comments on their "first time" ad? I kinda like the ear + fly and the shaolin monk ... at least not the typical hard sell ad! Dun like the wat lick and stick ad, it's not funny and doesn't tell much. Wondering which agency did that?
