Uh-oh, Ross, it's getting cheaper. :) Time to sell those extra hard drives and handhelds to make room and money for this.

 

Looks like the silver one is the only one at this price. The others colors are $194.99.

I wonder if Creative is still including the free extra battery with these. I know when I bought mine it came with one, but that was 4-5 months ago.

Brad, how big are these? Are they easily pocketable, like the MuVo2? I know the MuVo will be smaller, but if I get one of these, I need to be able to have it while I'm running, biking, or skiing.

If I am reading the specifications correctly, approximately the height of a floppy disc, a little more than half as wide, and less than an inch thick:

"Size WxHxD: 2" x 3.3" x 0.7" / 51mm x 84mm x 19mm"

this might help you see how the size is:

Thanks Brad and TM. So, it's slightly larger than a CC and just uner 3/4" thick. I think I'll stop by Target or Best Buy and see if I can play with one for a bit before I decide to buy or not.

Don't you already have a Nomad or something, Nate? Or are you just looking for something smaller...?

[mrn8]

I have a MuVo2 and a Nomad Zen NX. The Zen has a moving hard drive, so I don't like to use it for excersizing. The MuVo is impossible to use while excersizing, so I'm selling that one in favor of something with an easier interface.

I see... are you staying away from Apple? How about a Shuffle?

[mrn8]

The shuffle is too small for me. Considering that I use my MuVo when I'm skiboarding, it's nice to fill that 4GB up with a good mix of music. I'm not opposed to an iPod mini, but the Creative has more features for the same price.

[i-bystander]

Good points... commence deciding whether to get one or not. :)

price is down again a little bit. it's $187.99 now.
