The compact, 6.6 x 3.2 x 1.6cm MuVo Vidz ships with either 1GB or 512MB of Flash memory, and presents JPEG photos and MPEG 4 video on a 1.18in 65536-colour OLED screen. As per Creative's other MuVo products, the Vidz is a music player too, supporting MP3 and WMA formats. It'll do voice recording too, and has an integrated FM receiver. It will encode direct to MP3 through a line-in facility. The Vidz is available in three colours: silver, pink and black. At this stage it's only available in Asia, and we can see its features and size playing well with local consumers."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/vidz.jpg" /><br /><br />So it looks like this player is set to directly compete with iRiver's U10 although it appears to have a smaller screen than the iRiver and doesn't support OGG. Anyways, I like the look of this device, very clean.
