Creative Technology Limited is a listed manufacturer of computer multimedia products based in Singapore, where it was founded by Sim Wong Hoo on July 1, 1981. The firm employs more than 5,000 people worldwide. Sim is the CEO and chairman of the company. The company's U.S. subsidiary is known as Creative Labs, Inc., a name commonly but incorrectly used to refer to the entire company.
Historically, Creative was most famous for their Sound Blaster line of audio cards. Now they are known for their line of portable multimedia players
The ZEN Vision:M was launched in December 2005. Like the earlier released ZEN Vision, the Vision:M shares the same interface and features in a smaller package. It supports audio playback, including audiobooks from Audible.com (as of version 1.41.01 of the firmware), video playback (DivX, AVI, Xvid, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 SP, WMV9 and MJPEG), image display in JPEG (BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF are supported through conversion.), FM radio (recordable in the 30GB version only), and a built-in microphone. Videos and photos can be viewed on television at a resolution of 640x480 (VGA) through a cable sold separately. The 2.5-inch, TFT-LCD display has a resolution of 320x240 (QVGA). The player has an estimated battery life of 16 hours for audio, and five hours for videos (tested under continuous playback). Album art is shown during playback, and image-viewing is enhanced with pan, zoom and rotation abilities. The ZEN Vision:M is priced at US$249.99 or US$299.99, depending on the size. The 30GB model is available in white, black, green, blue and pink. Like the other players in the Vision and Micro lines, this model is known for its glowing button symbols.
The ZEN Vision:M has won a number of accolades, including the Best of Show and Best Portable Audio & Video Device awards at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, as well as the Red Dot Design Award.
