Creative ZEN MX - The successor to the ZEN

This review refers to the so-called. Successor to the Creative ZEN. I had both the ZEN MX, as well as the ZEN for testing, and I must say at the outset that I have decided for the ZEN (excluding MX). The reasons explained beneath.

Creative ZEN MX praises as [Quote] "That's the ZEN at the absolute maximum" to.

In my opinion, this is more of ZEN at minimum. For the successor to the ZEN was not (as one might suspect) improved, but "castrated" in a few ways:

-no hold button more at ZEN MX
-In my opinion, modest sound quality
Supports audio formats less than the "normal" ZEN
Supports video formats less than the "normal" ZEN (to be exact support the ZEN MX nurmehr 1 creative-specific format that must be converted by the Creative software)
-Battery Life was reportedly increased by 5h to 30h, but according to my tests do not really understand
Software ZEN MX reacts more slowly to some, as the software of the ZEN, the works but very fluid and fast!

Conclusion: Please do not be fooled and the ZEN MX buy, but buy the normal ZEN, which is an excellent MP3 player and superior in my opinion, the Ipods is - especially at the price! (I had in front of the ZEN an iPod Nano.)

hope I could help.
