Reviews of the Creative ZEN Touch (40GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Awesome battery life; innovative Touch Pad; excellent sound quality; simple and durable design, decent value.
The Bad: Battery is not removable unlike another Zen model; some convenient menu features found in past Zens not included; LCD contrast could use work.
The Bottom Line: Lately, Creative has been churning out players with great battery life and excellent sound quality. The Zen Touch offers all this and more, making it a legitimate challenger to the Apple iPod.
