The Bottom Line The Creative Zen Vision, a dazzling but occasionally frustrating personal media player, handles video and music with aplomb, all for a tantalizingly low price. The bulky but easy-to-use Creative Zen Vision W and its nice screen will dazzle video lovers who don't require video recording. Eight months after its announcement, the Creative Zen PMC is finally here. Despite its bulk, the player is solid, but it's the Microsoft Portable Media Center software that deserves most of the praise. The bulky but easy-to-use Creative Zen Vision W and its nice screen will dazzle video lovers who don't require video recording. The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities.
