Creative’s Zen Vision W offers that large screen portable media player goodness
One of the most attractive features of the iPhone (other than multi-touch) is the nice large screen. I’m pretty sure that future revisions of the iPod will most likely share that same screen size but theres a product that has been out for a while that can give you that luxury today. Ive talked about the Creative Zen vision M plenty of times because I think it is a pretty good MP3 player for those that want something other than an iPod. Since the release of that MP3 player, Creative has released a updated version with a larger screen…The Creative Zen Vision W.

As you can tell by the picture it has a nice large 4.3" screen. Plenty of screen to enjoy your favorite videos on the go. The Creative Zen Vision W still has all the features of the Vision M, which the main one that interest me is the video playback capability. It has support for a large number of file types, including Divx (and Xvid). Which means less converting files if you want to transfer your Bittorrent copy of the Transformers over to watch while your waiting for your dentist appointment.
The price on this device is similar to the iPod with the 30 gig version retailing at $299 and the 60 gig version at $399. Over at Newegg you can get the 60 gig version for $349 with an additional $50 mail in rebate (which would make your total cost $299).
