Default Creative Zen Micro Photo

http://www.dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.898

"This is a Zen Micro that's been upgraded with a color screen for viewing photos. It's fairly bright, which helps make the GUI easier to read. Price will be $ 299 MSRP and it's due out within a few months."



dapreview has a photo of the new Zen Micro Photo. I'm sure the color screen is welcome, but does anyone really use these things to display their photos on?

Not me. My photos demand a Lambda printer! =P

I'm just thinking that Creative are not exactly being, well, Creative when coming up with this..

Not with current technology...
Screens resolution is too small and I *really* prefer bigger screens; nothing smaller than a 3.7" VGA PocketPC will do for me.

I could see using something like this for photos, if they would provide a cable and driver for downloading pictures straight from my digital camera. This way, I wouldn't have to get a computer out everytime my memory card was full (and wouldn't have to switch cards). I know, there are Mp3 players that do this now... but I did want to mention that I think that is a great use for a device like this.

I probably wouldn't use it for photos, but I still think it's worth a colour screen just for viewing album art.
