1. Seems like Creative is finally starting to realize that it's just not about the players or the features you can pile on, but about the content. They've all had devices capable of playing video way before the launch of the video iPod but content was sparse at best. Apple has always understood that content has always played a huge part in it's success.

2. Visited their site - www.zencast.com. nice effort. Now I can really do more with my zen vision:m. This is a much better strategy on creative's part especially with the strong focus on the video content which the zen player does very well in that dept. They do build some serious gears over the years, but the lack of content partnership tends to let them down. Hopefully, this will mean some real competition to the ipod.

3. Just stumbled upon that info and installed Creative Organizer for podcasts. It looks good to me and works fine, very transparent interface, easy to use. As for other content I don't care for partnerships - as long as I can use Raphsody for music downloads. There is plenty of other stores with music for any mp3 player anyway. Even Microsoft is opening one together with MTV I have read. Good to see all these things happening.
