The MP3 player market is diminishing every day, and players either
have to go all out with tablet-like specs or be small enough to be
accidentally swallowed to stand out these days. The new Zen Style M300
from Creative falls into the latter category, with a player that builds
around a 1.45″ LCD screen. Small doesn’t mean useless though (as the
Sansa Clip series clearly demonstrated), and Creative has really tried
to be…eh…creative here with the features. Aside from a very respectable
20 hour battery life and capscities up to 16GB, it also has a microSDHC
card slot, making it possible to add up to 32GB of extra memory.
The feature list also includes Bluetooth 2.1, meaning that you can
use wireless headphones. If you don’t need Bluetooth, the M100 version
will save you a bit of money- though it only goes to 8GB. With the 16GB
M300 being priced at $90 and the 4GB M100 at $40, these players are
decently priced in any case. If you can live with a limited MP3, WAV and
WMA codec support, you can get a very capable yet small 4-48GB player
here.The players will be available in June, in 4 different colors.
