      (irish accent) Don't worry boyo. I'll be gentle!

      The reviews for this tablet are rather… unflattering.

      Of course it was done at a time when the tablet cost $300 to purchase, but when you consider an Ainol Novo tablet can be had for around the same price, I still do not see a compelling reason why you'd want a lower-specced, resistive touch tablet whose only selling point seems to be the better audio chipset.

      But would an audiophile want to tote around a 7" tablet just to listen to music?

      The software is also ancient — Froyo? That's not optimised for tablets…

  I really like this when it came out. I would still get one for my own reasons but only if it is cheap enough. This price ain't cheap

  Ahh Creative. I still have the Zen Vision: M but don't use it since I upgraded to the iPhone. It was a really fantastic mp3 player, but it seems that their new stuff isn't anything exciting. Its a bit of a shame tbh

  My first MP3 player was a Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB in '99 or possibly '00. It was so awesome. I ripped about 150 CDs to MP3, mostly on an AMD K6-300, which meant it took quite a while. Of course I named all the tracks manually.

  I miss you, my bricky friend.

    You sure? Around year 2000 the iPod hadn't even been released yet. The first one came out in 2001 with a 5-10 GB capacity.

    Your memory must be failling :)

      iPod was not the first mp3 player, by a massive margin. Apple was relatively late to the game.

      That said, now that I think of it, the Zen Xtra 60GB was my second MP3 player and probably did come around 2002-2003. I had an earlier version of the same thing in '99/'00.
