The milk chocolate won't melt in your hands or in your phone, with this adorable combination of M&M candy dish and telephone. With its whimsical styling and cheerful coloring, this is the perfect addition to your desk, but be warned: the dish has room for a half-pound of M&Ms, which might make your cubical the new office hangout.
A simple push-button keypad perches on top of the candy dish, and those sarcastic candies known as Blue and Red are hovering under the handset. The manufacturer includes a 90-day warranty, and three AA batteries are required (not included).

ASIN: B000CS7U1C |
Product Description
The Zen Vision: M 30GB Multimedia Center makes it easy to carry all your digital files around - and navigate them more simply. You'll be able to enjoy thousands of photo and audio files -- or even video files, thanks to the great-looking 2.5" LCD screen. Its 320x240 resolution and 262,144 color display will makes photos look almost as good as the real thing, even in bright sunlight. The TV-out jack lets you store complete movies or TV shows and connect them to a TV for easy sharing with your friends. The Zen Vision will even turn your slideshows into attention-grabbing multimedia; share your collections of baby photos by adding a backdrop of your favorite music to the slideshow, directly from the player. The bigger, backlit Vertical Scroll navigation tool is smoother and helps to improve selection accuracy. It's the one-stop device for all your digital entertainment needs. The built-in Personal Organizer lets you transfer your calendar, contacts and task list from Microsoft Outlook -- you'll never forget all your important anniversaries and appointments Repeat, resume, and random play Audio Playback Format - MP3 WMA and WAV / Photo Format - JPEG (GIF, TIFF, PNG and BMP) / Video Playback Format - MPEG1/2/4-SP, WMV9, Motion-JPEG, compatible DivX 4,5 and XviD Programmable sleep and wake timers Customizable main menu Also functions as an external hard drive for data and file transfer 8 EQ settings (Acoustic, classical, disco, jazz, new age, pop, rock and vocal) Rechargeable Li-ion battery plays up to 14 hours of continuous audio playback and up to 4 hours of continuous video playback Size - WxHxD - 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.7 / Weight - 5.7 oz PC requirements - Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 or 2Amazon.com Review
In its own right, the Creative Zen Vision:M is a very capable digital audio player, video player, photo viewer, FM radio, and more. Indeed, one could go on and on about how it has the right specifications to make it a constant companion for entertainment on the go. The really big news about this device, though, is that it's the first device to boast complete compatibility with Amazon Unbox, the new digital video and music download service from Amazon.com.
|
The Zen Vision:M has the features, ease-of-use, and power to become your constant media companion. See the Vison:M interactive demo. |
Let's get things out in the open. The Apple iPod is the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to the digital media player business and, unavoidably, every other device is measured against it. In most respects, the Vision:M matches up pretty well, and there are few things you may even like better. Length and width dimensions are exactly the same at 4.1 and 2.4 inches respectively. When it comes to girth, though, the iPod has the Vision:M beat; the Vision:M is .7 inches thick, while the iPod measures .4 inches. The Vision:M is slightly heavier, too. These details aside, the Vision:M feels comfortable, yet sturdy, in the hand, with curved surfaces in all the right places.
Creative takes a somewhat different approach with the Vision:M's controls, answering the iPod's Click Wheel with a vertical touch pad--which allows you to scroll up and down menus and control volume--plus four buttons that offer navigation through the user interface. The contextual menu button on the bottom right is a welcome addition, allowing you to make quick settings changes and view information about media files on the fly--functions that are more cumbersome on an iPod. Creative could have made the buttons a bit more sensitive--they require a firm press that gives an overall feeling of clunkiness to an otherwise well-designed user interface. Another annoyance is the touch pad's over-sensitivity; it's easy to make selections unintentionally, sending you on a wild ride through the user interface.
The Vision:M's screen, which measures 2.5 inches diagonally, offers sharp details, vibrant color, and excellent response with little or no video ghosting during high-action sequences. The 320 x 240 resolution is to be expected from a device this size, and although it's small, you'll likely have no trouble enjoying video while you're sitting on the subway or a flight, or in the back-seat of a car. Our only nitpick was the screen's less than stellar viewing angle, especially when compared side-by-side with a video iPod. While this can be good for maintaining privacy, the narrow viewing angle also means that friends beside you will struggle to see anything other than a black screen.
| |||||||
The Vision:M's music organization scheme is standard fare; you can browse playlists, artists, tracks, albums, and genres. Equalizer settings are robust, with a nice range of automatic settings, plus a custom equalizer that's easy to control. The music library's "DJ" function is a nice touch, allowing you to listen to your most popular tracks. It can also pull up the tunes you listen to least frequently--in case you've got some forgotten tunes lying around on the Vision:M's 30 GB hard drive. Sound quality is everything you'd expect from a top shelf digital audio player, and DRM'd Windows Media files played without a hitch. The device fully supports a whole range of "PlaysForSure" download and subscription services, such as Napster and Yahoo Music. Creative also ships a CD-ripping and music transfer application called MediaSource with the Vision:M.
Playback of Windows Media DRM'd video files (WMV9) was also hassle-free. Purchased videos delivered crisp colors and detail, with no frame drops. Video playback consumes a lot of power, bringing Creative's claim of four hours of video playback into serious doubt. Expect under three hours when watching videos continuously. Thankfully, if you need to come back to your video later the Vision:M's software remembers the timecode of where you left off--unless you power the device down between viewing sessions. In addition to protected and unprotected WMV files, the Vision:M can play MPEG 1/2/4, Motion-JPEG, DivX 4 and 5, and XviD formats, making it a very flexible device with respect to encoding options.
The Vision:M can also store thousands of photos, letting you browse through them or set up a slideshow. The device's TV-out option comes in handy here, as you can present slideshows on a TV or projector. Videos can be displayed this way, too. An FM radio with easy preset tuning functions and great signal reception, plus a voice recorder feature, round out the extra media features. There's also a handy application on the Vision:M that formats a portion of the drive for use as USB 2.0 mass storage, letting you set aside up to 16 GB for data storage.
Connectivity and Synchronization
A Creative Sync Adapter ships in the box with the Vision:M, making it a snap to connect the device to a USB 2.0-capable PC. With the connection made, Windows XP recognized the device right off the bat and Windows Media Player immediately asked us if we wanted to load the PC's music onto the Vision:M. Music management and synchronization has come a long way on the PC, and the experience of organizing and transferring music to and from the Vision:M was, barring a few curious click-through boxes, pretty seamless. The Vision:M also supports synchronization of your Outlook contacts, calendar, and tasks, in case you want to use it as a personal organizer of sorts.
Amazon Unbox Integration
To be truly successful, the Vision:M has to be more than a great media device, it has to integrate with Amazon Unbox and make the process feel like second nature. Although the Vision:M was tested using a beta version of Amazon Unbox, things are looking good already. Amazon Unbox and the Vision:M go together like peas in a pod, making the process of purchasing, downloading, and enjoying content on the go a real cinch. The Amazon Unbox Video Player, which queues, downloads, organizes, and plays your purchased movies and TV shows, recognized the Vision:M right off the bat. An icon for the Vision:M appears in the devices panel of the application, and you can immediately begin transferring downloaded content to the device. Once you're all loaded up, the Vision:M offers a great way to bring Amazon Unbox entertainment along for the ride.
Pros
- Crisp, vibrant color screen is great for video
- Generous video format compatibility
- Excellent sound quality and music management functions
- Narrow screen viewing angle may be a problem for some
- Finicky controls for some functions
- Slightly more bulky than other competitors

Buy One NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-07-09
Pros: Ease of use, Sleek design, Quick music file transfer, great value for superb features, huge memory capacity. Great screen display. Shows album cover art. Touch pad takes awhile to adjust to even though I have the Creative Touch which also has a touch pad. However, the learning curve is very fast. You can adjust the touch pad sensitivity. You can change the wallpaper (screen) display. Amazing little device. Leave the clear window display protector on since it doesn't hamper screen visibility! Too many great features to mention all of them here.
Cons: Ear buds could be of higher quality perhaps, AC charger must be purchased separately, Creative doesn't have a case for 60GB model, yet. My Creative Touch's case will work perfectly, though.
Other Thoughts: I got it today. I read all the customer reviews on this site. Some mentioned problems with the software so that worried me. I charged it for 5 hours(I also ordered the AC charger) so it'd be fully charged when I got home from work (at least one review recommended it be fully charged before beginning.) I also noted that several reviews complained about customer service. This is my second Creative device. I am satisfied with Creative's service. It is true that phone support is only free for the first 60 days (an extended warranty is avaiable for about $60.00). I called the customer service number and tho' I didn't have the serial number with me, the person was very helpful. He assured me I didn't need the software as long as I had Windows XP and Windows Media Player 11 (I do). Sure enough I connected my player to my notebook and it was EASY! I synced 317 albums to my Vision M in less than 90 minutes. I'm out of words. Just get one!
Why limit yourself in iLand when you can be free in Zen Land?.......2007-07-07
Sure, it's bigger and heavier than those iThings, but it plays a much larger variety of formats and isn't shackled to the clunky iTunes software. You can use Creative's software or simply drag and drop within Windows.
The only downside to this product is the difficulty in finding good silicone skins. If you aren't a silicone skin fan, there are plenty of other case options out there.
So, set yourself free from everything "i" and enter the wonderful world of Zen!
Good but has some flaws:(.......2007-06-29
Almost good.......2007-06-22
Battery life, size, weight are OK. Sound quality is good. USB disk functionality is very useful and I really love the fact that I do not have to install any software to use it with XP.
However...
Buttons for next, previous and fast forward are unbelievably uncomfortable. They are just terrible. Seems like frame was designed around the touch pad when someone just remembered that forward and rewind buttons are also needed.
The scroll/volume control touch-pad is uncomfortable and not accurate enough for navigation in lists.
Playback sound quality is good, and interface is OK but player hangs too often when I try to skip to the next song while one has not begun or just began playing. My record was 3 hangs in 10 minutes. Luckily I had the pin to hard-reset it. However, that was not the case when player froze in the middle of trans-Atlantic flight. I was ready to throw player out of the window. It is good that airplane windows can not be opened :) Since software is not perfect reset should be doable with a ball-pen.
Startup time is too long.
Deleting songs is slow.
Charging and listening at the same time is not possible. If it is possible I did not find a way to do it.
I LOVE THIS ZEN PLAYER!.......2007-06-19
------Here are the pros:-------
-Awesome look
-10 star sound (rated by me...:)
-10 star video
-10 star picture quality
-10 star easiness to work with
-Fits perfectly in my hand
-huge video screen
-nice features
-o.k. price
-FM radio
-Voice recorder (this is great to use when learning lines for theater/plays)
-Doesn't scratch that easily, sturdy and durable!
-long battery life
-fantastic memory space (I am currently using 3 GB of the 30 total- this means I have 6 full-length movies and about 900 songs)
------Cons:-----
-harvier
-somewhat bulky
-hard to find accessories in the stores, I have had to order everything on-line (this isn't that big of a problem though)
-...can't really think of anymore at the moment!
I LOVE putting new songs and changing videos with this player. It is really fun-- also great b/c I can watch videos when I am running on the machines at the gym or doing the stair stepper.
My zen has only 2-3 scratches (that are somewhat noticeable) and I have had my player for over a year now.
Overall, I would give my zen a perfect+ rating. All of my friends have iPods, for that reason, I purposly didn't buy an iPod (I also wanted FM radio and better quality and the green color) and thus I am beginning to think iPods are overrated.
***If you want something amazingly cool, durable, with awesome features and great sound, then the Zen Vision:M is for you! If anyone is trying to decide Zen vs. iPod, defiantly go with the Zen!

This is the stuff dreams are made of.......2007-06-29
Great card.
AWESOME speed.......2007-05-28
I am *not* disappointed. In my D200, set to fast multishot, I was able to take over 100 (large fine jpeg) pictures before the card couldn't keep up and I filled the camera's buffer. That was over 12 seconds of continuous photos! I have a (much) older 4 gig Microdrive flash card that is pathetically slow compared to this.
I bought four cards, and I have stressed one in all 4 of my cameras, filling it, erasing it, and filling it again several times. While not a formal stress test, it has given me enough confidence - in the past I have had flash cards that would occasionally result in errors moving between cameras, problems formatting in the camera, etc. So far, the one card I hammered has been fine.
I was tempted to get the 8gb version of this card, but 2 4 gig cards are cheaper, and provide some level of assurance - if one card fails, I still have one to keep going. 1 8 gig card would be a single point of failure.

This card works flawlessly in my Nikon D200. D70, and Coolpix 8800 cameras. No problems noted at this time. Card is very fast and can keep up with the fastest of my cameras.

Sandisk xD Type M 2GB Card.......2007-04-19
At my cameras highest setting, 3 MB picture file size, I can store 700 pictures on this card. NOTICE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FILE SIZE NOT THE MEGA PIXEL RATING OF THE CAMERA! For normal size pictures, you can store THOUSANDS of pictures on this card.
You might also wish to purchase an Olympus MAUSB-200 Memory card reader. This card and reader together looks and performs just like a flash drive.
It is a really neat. Someone had a great idea here.

The best chance for success is to use the suction cups, but if you have an LCD screen (who doesn't?) it warns you not to. So, how do you get it to lay flat just by hanging it? I used the "counterweight supplied, plus I held it in place with my hand, still no dice. OK, I'll bite. So I try it with the suction cups and take a chance, nope, still would not initialize(I rebooted, etc). BEWARE of using the suction cups, very difficult to remove without damaging screen!!! Oh, there is NO MENTION of LAPTOPS. I have a MacBook Pro. I use it for photography and graphics, HELLO??? They say it is crucial to set the monitor to default brightness- most laptops have NO default... you set it to where you want. There is no "reset to default" settings. DO not bother with this device. It's the same hardware for all levels... same problems.... getting the pro won't change what I describe here.

Got this for our trip, recommend it.......2007-07-06
Well, I was never dissapointed. The volume was very loud. Even on the air plane,my daughter and I were able to watch her dvd and heard every little bit of it. We also used it on a 5hour bus ride as well as in a hotel. When she was going to sleep she wanted to watch her favorite cartoon, so we connected the portable DVD player to the television and she watched the cartoon.
We had no visual or audio problems. I'd say you should buy this model. I was impressed with it. Hope you will be too.
