“Creative Technology clearly had Apple Computer’s iPod in mind as it developed its latest portable music player, the Nomad Jukebox Zen.Like the iPod, the shiny Zen is lightweight, holds thousands of songs and runs for 10 hours-plus per battery charge.The Zen has one big advantage over the iPod: It’s $200 cheaper (including the annoying $50 rebate) than an iPod with the same 20-gigabyte capacity.Though the slightly smaller iPod is easier to handle and use, the $299 Zen is similar enough and cheap enough to be worth considering,” says The Mercury News in this article entitled, “Creative’s Jukebox Zen not quite iPod killer.”
