Creative ZEN X-Fi2 With 3-Inch Touch Screen And Xtreme Fidelity Technology

The global market leader in digital entertainment products, Creative has introduced its next generation portable media player, named as Creative ZEN X-Fi2, which features 3-inch touchscreen display and award-winning Xtreme Fidelity X-Fi audio technology, aiming to provide users an ultimate audio experience.

“In setting out to design our next generation player, we felt it was essential that we start with the sound quality of the ZEN X-Fi player and make the ZEN X-Fi2 sound even better by implementing the latest X-Fi technology. We wanted to have X-Fi improve the audio playback across all modes of entertainment including music, video and FM music from the radio. Next, we added features to significantly enhance the user experience for music, photos and videos, all in a player with a sleek design,” said Joseph Liow, Vice President, Personal Digital Entertainment Products of Creative Technology Ltd and General Manager of Creative Labs Asia. “We wanted to make the ZEN X-Fi2 even more fun to use by implementing a touch screen interface. To upgrade the video watching experience, we increased the size of the display with a stunning 3-inch touch screen. The combination of adding a touch screen and a larger display also substantially enhances photo viewing, as now users can quickly and easily scroll through photos.”
