    Just "ZEN". I wouldn't post here about just any new mp3 player, but this one looks really nice.

    The 16gb (flash) version will cost $299 and have an SD/SDHC card slot too for adding more memory. 2.5" screen. 4 and 8 gb versions available too for $149 and $199.

    Looks like it resembles the Vision W.

    Yes, but this is smaller, and with flash memory instead of a hard drive. And no widescreen. I agree though the design/layout is similar to the Zen Vision and Vision W.

    Yeah it looks pretty good. 16.7 million color screen! And the size of a credit card.

    I would really love one of these, its exactly what I would like, but there is no way I can justify getting one with my perfectly working, but aging Zen Micro :(.
