It’s beautiful 1.5″ scratch resistant screen allows you to view your movies and pictures in high quality.
Most importantly you can record music directly from your CD player or other playback source. In addition, the built-in Voice Recorder can be used to record hours of notes, thoughts and meetings. Sync your player’s personal organizer with Microsoft Outlook to transfer your calendar, contacts and task list so you won’t miss your important appointments and anniversaries. Featuring smooth contours and small size, the Zen V Plus MP3 Player fits in your palm, slides effortlessly into your small pocket, and comfortably sports your fashion at the gym

New Zen V Plus is a diminutive little player, wider and considerably thicker than the Nano, yet packed with features and extras you certainly won’t find in the Apple player. At 1.7 inches wide, 2.7 inches tall, and 0.6 inches thick, you won’t be able to fold it into your wallet, though since it only weighs 1.5 ounces you’ll hardly notice it in a pocket or dangling from your neck or back on the included strap.

Cnet Reviews Creative Zen V Plus is a splendid little performer too. Music played through the included earbuds sounds decent, but if you really want to experience the player’s high-quality audio, swap in a pair of premium ‘phones, such as the Shure E4c. And we’re happy to report that this Zen–unlike previous versions–gets plenty loud. Battery life was also impressive in our CNET Labs’ tests, lasting more than 20 hours (and much longer than the rated 15 hours).

Summary-

 The good:  The Creative Zen V Plus offers a cute, pocket-friendly design without sacrificing screen real estate, and the vivid OLED display is viewable from any angle. The player is packed to the gills with features, including an FM radio, voice and line-in recording, photo and video playback, and compatibility with subscription WMA tracks. It’s the first flash player to be offered with up to 16GB of memory. Oh, and the sound quality and battery life are great too.

The bad: The Creative Zen V Plus’s joystick is really small and has a cheap feel to it, and we wish Creative had included all the buttons found on the Vision:M. The screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight, and there’s no UMS support.

The bottom line: The Creative Zen V Plus is a superb choice for anyone looking for a compact and feature-filled flash MP3 player with great sound quality. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated design (or have large thumbs), check out the iRiver Clix instead.
