Creative ZEN X-Fi3

The Creative ZEN X-Fi3 is a continuation of the ZEN X-Fi series and marks a radical departure in design, offering a vertical brick motif instead of the horizontal card approach, while also getting progressively smaller as well.

Along with the 2 inch TFT color touchscreen and choice of either 8GB or 16GB capacity there is a MicroSDHC card slot for adding another 32GB of memory and it features the apt-X codec which allows for 'superior' wireless audio transmission when used with compatible Bluetooth devices. FLAC lossless audio format is supported as well as MP3, AAC, M4A and WMA, and video formats supported include AVI, DivX, Xvid and WMV. Audio output for the included earbuds may be used or you can listen using the built in speakers, while video outputs are included as well for watching your videos on the big screen(a/v cable sold separately). Add to this a built in microphone for recording memos and an FM radio tuner with 32 station presets and a battery life of 20 hours between charges for audio and 5 hours for watching video. The ZEN series also use Creative's X-Fi Crystalizer sound compression technology which helps clear up audio detail lost during compression and pushes the left and right stereo source further apart for a more enhanced and natural sound stage.
