Design
The Zen sports a 2.5-inch TFT color display with 320 x 240-pixel resolution and support for up to 16.7 million colors. This razor sharp display is packaged in a device that weighs just 2.1 ounces and measures 3.26 x 2.16 x .44 inches (W x H x D). The internal battery powers the Zen for up to 25 hours of continuous audio playback and up to five hours of continuous video playback. Use the Zen's SD slot to expand your portable media library with music, photos and videos stored on your SD card. There's also a handy built-in microphone for capturing notes on the go.

Features
Load up up your favorite songs, as well as your album art, and get going with the Zen. The device supports iTunes Plus tracks from the iTunes store and MP3 and WMA tracks. Subscription and pay-per-download music services are supported, as well. Discover, save, and play millions of songs when subscribing to services such as Yahoo Music Unlimited and Napster To Go. You can even tune into your favorite stations with the Zen's FM radio. The radio allows you to save up to 34 presets.

The Zen has you covered when it comes to video, too. The device supports MJPEG, WMV9 and--with transcoding--MPEG1 and 2, MPEG4-SP, DivX 4 and 5, and XviD. Enjoy purchased or rented movies and TV shows from online services such as Amazon Unbox and Walmart.com. Watch home videos. Even load your Tivo To Go movies and TV shows onto your Zen.

Additional features include a clock and alarm function, volume restriction, eight equalizer settings, and a USB hard drive mode, which allows you to drag and drop files directly to and from your Zen. The Zen can also function as a handy organizer, allowing you to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook and display your contacts, calendar, and tasks.

Still better than an iPod

This is a great player and I really enjoy it. [...]. However, like most electronics it does have some minor flaws.

As a heads up, the included software is really clunky. Disappointingly, the "convert video" feature converts to WMV not AVI. I'm not particularly impressed with the conversion quality and currently looking for a third party program to convert DVDs to AVI. Additionally, when transferring music I'd suggest just using Windows Media Player instead of the included application (even though I'm not particularly fond to WMP I found in the end it's easier to use.)

The Zen also has a tendency to freeze requiring you to restart it a little more frequently than anticipated. I hope in the future this is addressed with a firmware upgrade.

Despite its software flaws and freezing issues I'm really happy with my Zen player (the delivery even arrived a day earlier than anticipated) and from all the horror stories I've heard about the new Nano I'm glad I went with this player.
