Creative Zen Mozaic DAP out now

August 4th, 2008

I must admit the latest Zen music and video player from Creative, the Mozaic 2GB/4GB DAP, looks kinda funky with its multi-colour controls. But are looks enough to make the masses rush out and buy one of these suckers? Here’s the low down on the specs on the Mozaic to see if it is stampede worthy.

* 2 GB or 4 GB capacity options
* 1.8 inch 128 x 160 res TFT display
* Built-in speaker
* 32 hours of continuous audio playback
* 5 hours of continuous video playback
* Integrated FM radio with 32 pre-sets
* Voice memo recording
* Support for audio formats mp3, wma, wav and Audible 4
* Support for image formats jpeg, bmp, gif, png, tiff
* Alarm clock, calendar and contact features
* 3.1 x 1.6 x 0.5 inches
* 0.1 lbs
* USB 2.0 connectivity

As for price tags, the 2 GB version rocks in at US$60, whilst its bigger brother weighing in at 4 GB will set you back US$80. Both these units compare favourably with the SanDisk Sansa Fuze which on release would have set you back an extra $20 for the same capacities. So going on prices and specs it looks as if good old Creative have come up with a little gem with the Zen Mozaic DAP.
