Gadget News : Undressing the Zen X-Fi2

With the Zen X-Fi2, Creative has taken a major step into the touchscreen world. The screen itself is a 3-inch TFT LCD with support for 262,000 colors and a pixel resolution of 400 x 240. It’s responsive, if a little slow. The PMP has audio support for MP3, secure WMA, Audible, AAC, video support for WMV9, MPEG4-SP, DivX4/5, and XviD, and displays JPEG and BMP images. Along with the built-in FM radio with autoscan and 32 presets, Creative has also included some free preloaded music and a preloaded audio book.One of the cooler features on the Zen X-Fi2 is the TV-out capability, but you’ll have to purchase the cable.

If you don’t ever get to see your content on the big screen, you can always rely on the external speaker or use the 3.5 mm headphone jack like most people with PMPs do. Oh, there’s also a built-in mic should you ever need to record an interview, a lecture, or some gossip for future blackmailing. The Zen X-Fi2 also displays RSS content.so you’ll have to sync to a computer with internet.

Besides that, there are a number of pedestrian features like an alarm clock, a calendar, and contact information.

As stated, the Zen X-Fi2 now available and capacity choices of 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB, and prices at $99.99, $129.99, and $169.99 respectively. If that’s not enough memory for you, there is a microSD card expansion slot, which seems to only partially integrate with the device.
