Thoughts on Creative Vision W

First, let me introduce what Creative Vision W is. Creative Vision W is a portable media player which allows users to enjoy widescreen entertainment such as music, movies, videos, microphone, radio and photos. Dimensions are:- 134mm x 75mm x 22mm. The weight is : 276g (with battery). Heavy isn't it? With built in speakers.

I have a Vision W for 4-5 months already. Overall, I m impress with the playback and the numerous formats that it could support. I love to toy around with the functions it has to offer! However, the downside is the battery life. With ONLY 13 hours of music playback and 4.5 hours of video....... I might as well get a Cowon D2 device, which has 52 hours of music playback and 10 hours of video. I do hope that Creative PTE LTD release an Extended battery life pack for the Vision W.

Comparison with the Ipod video:-

Advantages of Vision W over Ipod Video:->

  1. Wider screen
  2. Built in speakers
  3. In-built radio
  4. Microphone
  5. 200,000 + colours
  6. Compact flash card reader.
  7. Has a longer battery life for video playbacks
  8. Better GUI (Graphical User Interface)
  9. A/V out - which means you can watch videos on TV

Advantages of Ipod Video over Vision W:->

  1. Scroll Wheel (The most powerful feature in ALL ipods)
  2. Branded (Quite...)
  3. More range of accessories
  4. In-built mirror (At the back of the Ipod Video)
  5. Popular by the masses
  6. Smaller size, and therefore lighter..

haha. Ipod sucks. Stop allowing Apple to brainwash your mind. Creative is well known for its soundcards. Mindless idiots go for ipods.

Who the hell are you to call all iPod owners mindless idiots!?
YOU HAVE OFFENDED LOTS OF IPOD OWNERS... IF YOU HAVE SUCH NEGATIVE COMMENT ON OWNERS OF IPOD, YOU COULD EITHER SHUT YOUR MOUTH UP OR SAY SOMETHING THAT'S NICER!
Please TEST both devices before you open your darn mouth. Though Creative is well known for its sound cards, DOES NOT mean that their sound quality for their MP3 will be the best. Apple is well known for MANY things - e.g. their QUALITY in ALL of their products.

Since you advice everyone not to get brainwashed by Apple, why don't you just stop getting brainwashed by Creative?!

Hey apple. Watch your mouth. The person who created this post has proven that the advantages of creative is more than Ipod a lot more. Not forgetting, Creative has a reasonable price than apple. So those people who bought apple have to re-think what they got. Apple is well known for MANY things - e.g. their QUALITY in ALL of their products? There's something wrong with that statement. Sony and many companies such as Creative are way better than Apple in terms of sound. Judging by your comment, you have not prove that Apple is better.

I have a brain, unlike someone who buys a product just for the sake of its brand. Just admit that you are a loser.

You are all idiots. Obviously , Microsoft Zune is the complete winner. Look at its ultimate casing and features the with Wi-fi. At the rate that Zune is going, it will do much more well than Apple down the road in 5 years time.

I don't just buy for its BRAND. I buy the quality. The price for Apple iPod is reasonable, while Sony's MP3 is WAY too expensive. Microsoft Zune is bulky, the other brands' have lousy functions.
I don't give damn about what the person said in that post, the author of that post is a FAN of Creative, hence his post. If I were him, I would definitely list more advantages on Apple's iPod rather than Creative.
In TERMS of SOUND, SONY is though better than Apple, I dare to admit it, HOWEVER, sound quality in Creative MP3 SUCK TO THE CORE.
You have a brain? HAHA, DO YOU MEAN, YOU HAVE A PEA BRAIN? Loser would say others loser.

@aceton.
That's if the size of Microsoft Zune is reduce.

Not a great comparison, the iPod & the Vision:M would be better, the iPod & Vision W are are in different classes. Of course the Vision W is bigger and bulkier, it's screen alone is about the size of an iPod video, these 2 devices really have different aims. With that said, the sound quality is without a doubt better than the iPod in my opinion.

I would prefer Microsoft Zune. In years time, they would change their way of design. Currently, it is in the early stage, just like the first gen ipods.
