Review of Creative's new Zen Portable Media Center - Engadget - www.engadget.com

The portable media centers are out!
This is a great review of the Creative Zen. I think these devices are great, I would really like yo buy one, but let's get serious here, I'm really thinking about paying $500 for a device that ONLY plays music/videos and photos.

I say ONLY, because with the same amount of money I could get a high-end Pocket PC and play video/audio/pictures with it. Of course, I wouldn't get the 20GB storage, but I could do fine with 1GB Compact Flash (just around $100 now) for basic stuff.

Another good (and long) review is from this guy, Corey Gouker, a Microsoft MVP fro Media Center Pcs.

I'm still wating for the second part of the review.
