DAPreview drops the Hot News of the day. Creative is in the process of launching an alternative portable media player to its Windows-based Zen Portable Media Center called the Creative Zen Vision (retail $485 – ETA July 2005). After a quick look at the specs, the device is on par with features we’ll be seeing in next-gen Portable Media Centers except that this model uses a smaller and lighter 1.8-inch internal hard drive, offers a built-in microphone, FM radio, and features a Compact Flash slot for quickly transferring pics from your digital camera (I would have preferred SD – Secure Digital).
