Paitently Waiting

Firstly my most sincere apologies for not posting here since December 20, 2005. I haven't put up anything since last year- again my apologies. I intend to change that going forward though. I am doing (personally) exciting techy things this year and intend to blog about it.

The primary order of business this year is the Portable Media Player.

I am so excited about the Creative Zen Vision: M. It comes from a line of successful and award winning Portable Media Centres from Creative Labs. Many people accuse of it of being an iPod knockoff but I don't agree. When I get it I will give the full update on how it feels and acts. I am going to post real pictures and everything for my review. However, I bought it because the specs were just too amazing.

Coincidentally, Creative came up with and patented a few things that Apple fans take for granted- makes you want to think about who copies who. I couldn't get an Apple- just not my style.

The most detailed review that helped me decide came from this interesting website . They leave no holes barred and really give Creative the good, bad and ugly.

I chose this over the iPod video because I like to just drag whichever video I have and drop it in my media player. Most of the videos I get are avi- why do I have to convert it to this h.whatever format?

It has Radio so I can listen to OT on the radio talkshow if I feel like it- atleast I have options. As soon as I get it I will let everyone know.

One similarity I am noticing between the iPod and the Zen Vision:m is that it loves scratches. Most people who know me realize that I can't tolerate scratches- not even on my beloved hiptop2 (sidekick2). This should help I hope.
