Creative Vision:M (geek post)

This player is so hot. It basically has the best screen available and lots more features than its competitors. It recently won "Best in Show" at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

The best user interface I've seen

Album Art mode, allows you to navigate via album art. My favorite feature.

262,000 colors on screen, compared to 65,000 on ipods. The difference is crystal.
