what’s black , white and green with iPod envy ? Creative’s new Zen Vision:M – Macdaily news

The new MP3 30GB player by Creative – the Zen vision:M is almost a mocking copy of the 5G iPod . In almost every respect it seems the guys at creative have copied apple . They didn’t even spare the menu system . The vision has the same 2.5 inch screen and 320X240 resolution as the iPod with video though is does have more codec compatibility like DivX and Xvid. It comes in a horde of diffrent colors ( somthing the iPod doesnt ) and its packed with stuff like a micro-phone and FM tuner but I just don’t like the control buttons . Not to mention is isn’t as sleek as the iPod and one major factor – Apple doesn’t manufacture it !! ( apple fanboy here , flame me all you want)

Apparently these guys have been developing the product for a year and cant be blamed if apple happened to come up with the same system .. they go so far as to say that in 2000 they patented the menu system and plan to sue apple for using it . I’m not too clear on this , but it seems like a legal battle is on its way . But “judge” yourself –
