Creative has literally expanded its Zen Vision line with the new Zen Vision:W portable media player: the W stands for widescreen. Unfortunately, the player isn't particularly sleek, and its audio battery life is shorter than it should be for a device this size. Still, at $299.99 (direct) for the 30GB model (or $399.99 for the 60GB model), there's enough to like about the ZVW. The one thing that could have put this product over the top, however, would have been an optional video-recording feature along the lines of the Archos 604 and its optional DVR docking station.
