Creative Zen X-Fi Style 8GB
The X-Fi Style itself is a good looking piece of kit, with a kevlar top coat and snowy white underside. The screen on this model is the 2.4" version though it is available in 3".
While many devices are purely touch screens, the Zen X-Fi Style utilises a more traditional control method. While this may not please those who have to have the most up to date technology, buttons like these are far more durable and far cheaper to produce.
In the centre is a four sided DPad with a central button. This is used for navigation and selecting menus. Above this we have "back" and "more options" buttons, with a play/pause and a mode switching button. With headphones in this changes the output from headset to speaker. However if nothing is plugged in, it controls the mute function.
USB and Headphone in jacks are found at the same end with the off switch located at the "top" along with a built in microphone. On the "bottom" is a small reset switch which helps you out if you run into any freezes or lockups.
