  Creative Zen (16GB) review
  
  Pros: The Creative Zen sounds fantastic and features a brilliant color screen capable of displaying photos and video. The player offers a smorgasbord of desirable extras such as an SD card expansion slot, an FM radio, a voice recorder, and a user-definable ...
  
  Cons: The Creative Zen only comes in black, the control pad feels cheap, and it doesn't come close to matching the max 60GB offered by the player it's replacing
  
  Verdict: Editors' note: The body of this review has been updated to reflect added memory options and significant price drops.
