The Bottom Line	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 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.	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.	The Cowon A3 portable video player is a fantastic value when judged on the merits of its file support and integrated video-recording capabilities. If you've got nimble fingers and an eclectic assortment of audio and video formats, the Cowon A3 should be at the top of your list.
