Early review of Creative Zen Vision:M at generationmp3

There's a lengthy review (in French) on generationmp3 of Zen Vision:M - Creative's new video iPod competitor - along with lots of stills of the product, its user interface and the supplied software.

Reviewer Edrysark is impressed by the picture quality of the high-res screen and also by the build quality, the touchpad and the overall feature-set - and rates it more highly than Apple's product.

On the downside, the reviewer points out that that the supplied software to convert, manage and upload files is WinXP only, and appears to be saying that Creative own software is the only way to upload files.

If that is what's being said, and it's right, that's rather daft but we have our doubts whether that is in fact the case - and about our own ability to accurately translate French!

Once you've checked that out (and may be helped out with our dodgy translation), you might care to join the Creative v Apple debate over in the original news thread about the Zen Motion:M.
